About the Book



Nathan used to be terrified of Krazyland when he was a young kid. Now that he's 12, the spooky-themed arcade games aren't that bad. He even enjoys stomping on plastic spiders and battling a creepy doll with big plastic eyes. But things become scarier again when kids start to go missing from the entertainment park... There's another world exists beneath Krazytown's ball pit. A world where the entertainment park's games come to life. And if he isn't careful, Nathan is going to be the next one sucked under!



Book Synopsis



A 2023 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Novel!

In a Florida tourist trap, a summer acting job turns into a real-life horror show when a cast member turns up dead--then disappears. This nail-biting story is perfect for fans of Fear Street and the Scream franchise.

Dave is spending his final summer before college working at Frightmares House of Horrors, a struggling haunted house attraction held together by malfunctioning killer clown mannequins, a cheap replica Annabelle doll, and a lot of improvising.

After a particularly disastrous shift ends in an employee walkout, Dave reluctantly takes over a role for his friend, however, he makes a horrifying discovery--a real dead body, hidden on set. But when Dave returns with help, the body is gone.

Though the killer covered their tracks, Dave realizes they must know what he saw. Could he be their next target?



Review Quotes




Praise for FRIGHTMARES:

A 2023 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Novel!

"Frightmares is YA horror at its best--voicy, thrilling, and wholly unique. Gibson's quirky characters and whip-smart humor shine against the non-Disney-fied backdrop of Florida's seedy underbelly. A spine-chilling book you won't forget."--Jennifer Moffett, author Those Who Prey

"[A] propulsive thriller."--Kirkus

"Witty and fast-moving."--Booklist

"Summer thrills and chills!"--Brightly



About the Author



Eva V. Gibson is the author of the YA novels Together We Caught Fire, Where Secrets Lie, and Frightmares. A bookworm since early childhood, she has routinely gravitated to the dark and gritty, reading, then writing, stories with grim themes and flawed, complicated characters. She lives in Northern Virginia with her family, and spends most of her time brooding, baking, creating, and parenting, awaiting the day her kids read her books with equal parts excitement and trepidation.
