The Stars Did Wander Darkling

A suspenseful and atmospheric horror perfect for younger fans of Stranger Things and Neil Gaiman, from New York Times bestselling author and the Decemberists lead singer/songwriter Colin Meloy.

Maybe Archie Coomes has been watching too many horror movies.

All of a sudden, the most ordinary things have taken on a sinister edge: a penny on a doormat. A man in a brown suit under a streetlamp. The persistent sound of an axe chopping in the middle of the night.

He keeps telling himself that this is Seaham, a sleepy seaside town where nothing ever happens. Or at least nothing did, until his dads construction company opened up the cliff beneath the old some say cursed Langdon place.

Soon, though, he and his friends cant deny it: more and more of the adults in town are acting strangely. An ancient, long-buried evil has been unleashed upon the community, and its up to the kids to stop it before its too late . . .
