THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Read the brand-new story about
everyone's favourite rag doll heroine, Sally and her sweetheart
Jack, in this official sequel to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before
Christmas. Jack and Sally are truly meant to be... or are they?
Newly crowned, Sally is thrown into the role of Queen of Halloween
Town. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with royal duties, Sally
can't help but wonder if all she's done is swap her captivity under
Dr. Finkelstein for a new cage. When Sally and Zero accidentally
uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream
Town, she unknowingly sets a chain of sinister events in motion,
putting herself, and the future of Halloween Town, in jeopardy. Can
Sally discover how to be true to herself and save Halloween Town,
or will her future turn into her worst nightmare? Written by New
York Times' bestselling author, Shea Ernshaw, this book is perfect
for fans of the film, Disney's A Twisted Tale series and
Wranglestone.
In her 1916 ghost story, Kerfol, Edith Wharton tells of Anne de Barrigan, a young woman convicted of murdering her jealous husband. The elderly lord was found on the stairs, apparently savaged by a pack of dogs, though there were no dogs - no live dogs - at Kerfol that day. In these remarkable intertwining stories, Deborah Noyes returns to the manor to tell de Barrigan's story through the sympathetic eyes of her servant girl. Four more tales slip forward in time, following characters haunted by the ghosts of Kerfol - the dead dogs; the sensual, uneasy relationships; and the bitter taste of revenge.

Praised as a "perfect book to gobble up in a single, sweaty sitting" by Booklist, this chilling middle grade novel from acclaimed author Joseph Bruchac is infused with suspense and heart-stopping action. Give it to fans of R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series and readers anxious for well-crafted horror!
Night Wings follows a Native American boy named Paul who is forced to journey up a treacherous mountain and must come face-to-face with something even more terrifying and deadly than his surroundings.
Paul has always believed in the power of dreams. He knows that they are often warnings. Warnings that should be taken very seriously. Now his nightmare visions of a fearsome winged creature are becoming all too real.
And though Paul has always depended on the wisdom of his Abenaki ancestors' stories to guide him, no monster tale will prepare him for the horror he is about to encounter. All alone. At the top of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.
