As night falls and strange whispers seem to follow your every step, the question lingers – what’s out there in the dark? Packed with suspense, this unputdownable story will keep young readers on the edge of their seats, eventually revealing that some things are more frightening in the darkness than they are in the light.  
 
A must-have picture book for families who are looking for a thrilling tale this spooky season.

Author and poet John Dougherty has been writing children’s books for over twenty years. His work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, including the surreal Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series, and the hilariously zany There’s a Pig Up My Nose. His beautiful, poignant picture book The Hare-Shaped Hole has won multiple awards. A former teacher, John is a passionate advocate for both public libraries and the importance of reading for pleasure. He was one of the first Patrons of Reading in the UK.

Matt Schu is a Portland, Oregon–based artist and children’s book illustrator whose work includes Cut!, My Cat Does Ballet, the Cosmic Collisions series, and more with HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Candlewick, and MIT Press. He studied art at the University of Oregon and worked as a graphic designer before turning to illustration. His paintings and drawings have been shown at Nucleus galleries, and he was awarded the Regional Arts & Culture Council Catalyst grant.
