At sixteen, Gerald Dupickle faces his worst fear ... college!

Awkward and shy, Gerald desperately wants to be part of the popular crowd-something he couldn''t accomplish in high school. He does his best to avoid the campus bullies, but after a brief run-in with the boys who wear black, he realizes things aren''t always what they appear to be. After a ghostly encounter in the library, it''s the boys who wear black that come to his rescue.

Fang and his team quickly realize Gerald has a gift-one that attracts ghosts.

But what happens when Gerald''s normal becomes paranormal?

Legend has it, a terrifying presence stalks the halls of the Blue Owl Inn, a decaying Victorian mansion. On his first ghost hunt, it''s Gerald who draws Lily out of hiding. Mesmerized that ghosts truly live among us, Gerald sets out to do more than just prove that they exist-he wants to help the spirits cross over to the other side.

But do the spirits want his help?

Steve Altier is at his chilling best in this new supernatural tale that''s certain to send shivers down the reader''s spine.

Whether told around a campfire or with a storm raging outside, ghost stories aren''t always just stories.

When the power fails in the middle of a storm, Zack and Daniel turn to their father, John Malone, for comfort. Feeling that the boys are old enough to learn the truth about his childhood, John divulges a family secret, one he''s kept locked away, a secret that changed John''s life forever.

In a small Pennsylvania town called Lizardville, Johnny and his friends set out on a weekend camping trip along the banks of Big Fishing Creek. On the first night, as the boys gather around the campfire, Parker shares the legend of the Ax Factory murders. Soon after, strange, mysterious things begin to happen. Little do the boys realize, they have awakened a spirit called Annabelle. She is searching for something and knows the boys are hiding what she seeks. Could the secret lie in an old puzzle box?

As this spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat adventure unfolds, one question remains: will they survive the weekend?

It''s been a little over a year since the teens lost one of their own, but the memory still haunts them.

Johnny and his friends are typical teenagers in central Pennsylvania. They go to school, have after-school jobs, and spend their free time fishing and hanging out. They share a unique experience that bonds them in a way most teenagers wouldn''t understand-their friend Jimmy was killed a year ago by a ghost. Now Jimmy is back, and he needs their help.

Johnny, Buck, and the rest of the gang go back to where it all began: a small cave nestled in the mountains. There, they must solve the case of a missing ghost, and who would want to take their remains. They quickly learn that this goes beyond a simple mystery-they might be able to pull off the impossible and break Jimmy''s curse. They just have to be careful not to lose another friend in the process.

This fast-paced, whodunit adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page.

Secrets are hard to hide in a small town like Lizardville.

When strange and mysterious things start to happen, Bob turns to his lifelong friend Tom for answers in the form of a seance. Bob now must deal with his new reality and keep his family''s secret hidden, but the phantom that is haunting him has other plans.

Will Bob and Tom be able to undo and revive normalcy despite what has been done? Or will it require teamwork and help from an unlikely source?
