Dare to listen with the lights off?

What Hides in the Dark gathers eighteen original ghost stories inspired by the legends of Mexico, for brave girls and boys ages 9 to 14. In Grandfather’s cornfield, the aluxes whistle at night. In Xochimilco, La Llorona now sends voice messages. In an abandoned school they still take attendance… and in an old building there is a button that leads to a floor that does not exist.

Listen to “The Aluxes of the Cornfield,” “La Llorona Has a Cell Phone,” “The Elevator to the Thirteenth Floor,” “The Midnight Train,” “The Hairy Hand,” and many more. From the cenotes of the Mayab to the ravines of Chihuahua, each story has a hero your age who feels afraid—very afraid—and still finds a way to be brave. Real scares, surprising endings, and a little Mexican culture on every page.
