Synopsis

This series of terrifying standalone tales that combine monsters + mysteries is perfect for fans of Goosebumps.

“Spine-chilling and creepy!” —Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth, on Escape From Grimstone Manor (Monsterious, Book 1)

Twelve-year-old Tegan and his friends are excited to set out on a weeklong backpacking trip through the wilderness in Shadow Canyon, known for its vast forests and jaw-droppingly deep canyon. But after the group sets off on a little-used trail to visit a remote waterfall, they soon discover that the path markers they’ve been following have mysteriously disappeared, leaving them hopelessly lost.

As Tegan and his friends try to find their way back to civilization, they begin to notice strange things in the woods: small, oblong stones dotting the landscape in unexpected formations, tree roots that seem to be moving on their own, and creepy glowing eyes peering out of the shadows at night. Before long, they discover that something sinister stalks the forest—a creature with a hunger for human flesh. Can they make it out of Shadow Canyon alive?

Goodreads review by Sarah on November 05, 2023

This was fine. The early bits where the author was trying to set the tone of a mysterious, creepy forest was well done. I could have done without the emotional dad issues that felt kinda forced. The main problem, and even my daughter noted it, is that this mostly relies on action to “scare” you, and t......more

Goodreads review by TJL on June 13, 2023

Oh, I knew what this was going to be about when I saw the cover, and I was not disappointed. As a legit arachnophobe there is nothing scarier than a horror book involving spiders. And this one was an excellent horror book featuring spiders. It reminds me a bit of the adult horror book Don't Move, whi......more
