Key Selling Points
- A series of freaky, terrifying and funny-scary stories in the vein of Tales from the Crypt, R.L. Stine and Stranger Things, with an overarching story about a horror author who steals his fans' nightmares for his books
- The central story deals with disillusionment with one's heroes, as Tanya slowly realizes her favorite author is not only a fake but is unleashing his evil ink on unsuspecting fans; other stories take on life during the pandemic (but never name it specifically), the body-horror of growing up (when a kid loses his "baby eye") and the omnipresence of duct-cleaning companies, among other topics
- Selected as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a nominee for the BC Young Readers' Choice Awards in the Red Cedar category and the Forest of Reading Red Maple Award.
- Jeff Szpirglas is a seasoned middle-grade horror writer who is also a teacher, so he has a solid grasp of what kids of this age are going through and what grabs their imaginations.
- Features delightfully dark and chilling illustrations from illustrator Stephen P. Hughes.
