Description



Book Synopsis



When a boy moves into his late grandfather's mansion, he discovers eerie spell books, creepy dolls, and strange noises. But one doll feels especially off--maybe it's nothing, or maybe it's...watching. This creepy middle grade read is perfect for fans of the Goosebumps series.

Garrett never met his grandfather, Burke, but he's heard the stories from his mother. Burke was an enormously successful writer, but he was also notoriously cruel, especially to his family. After he passes away suddenly, Garrett and his mother are told that his enormous fortune is hers...if they agree to spend a week at his estate.

The house is a monument to Burke's obsession with puppet-like dolls, and the attic is packed with cryptic notes and ancient books. It's clear that his grandfather was up to something, but Garrett can only guess what, and his fear only deepens when he finds a creepily detailed doll with 'Marion' written on the foot.

As the week progresses, Garrett realizes that the house isn't what it seems. An old typewriter clicks away on its own. There are sounds in the night that come from the basement. And strangest of all is Marion, who always seems to be watching...



About the Author



Born and raised in Middle Tennessee, D.W. Gillespie wrote his first short story in second grade. It involved (unsurprisingly) monsters wreaking havoc on some unsuspecting victim. Some things never change. He began writing seriously after taking a creative writing class in college, and he's written steadily ever since. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and two kids, and on dark nights, you might find them huddled around a campfire sharing spooky tales.
