The First Book in a Spine-Chilling Middle Grade Horror Series!

Step into the dark and twisted world of Scareville, a series that blends nostalgia with fresh, thrilling horrors for today’s young readers (and their parents)! Perfect for fans of similar 90s classics, this series is designed to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

In the debut book, Welcome to Scareville, the sleepy town of Lakewood, Ohio, gets more than it bargained for when a mysterious store named Scareville opens its doors. Specializing in all things creepy, unusual, and downright terrifying, the store takes over a former funeral home, and soon the entire town is buzzing with excitement…until the chilling events begin.

Carson and his friends, lifelong horror and Halloween lovers, are among the first to check it out, but they quickly realize there’s something off about the store—and its strange owner, Mr. Enstrom. As eerie events escalate and the town grows more suspicious, Carson and his friends find themselves thrust into a terrifying mystery. What dark secrets are hidden within the walls of Scareville? Can they uncover the truth before it’s too late?

With a perfect mix of mystery, adventure, and old-school horror, Welcome to Scareville will keep young readers (and the young at heart) hooked until the very last page. Are you brave enough to step inside?
