Nominee: 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award FinalistâBest Juvenile
Edgar Allan Poe's greatest stories are coming to life, and it's not a good thing.
There's something odd about the house David Cray and his mom moved into following his parentsâ split. Sure, itâs old and battered and a little off-kilter, but thatâs not all. With so many nooks and crannies, it seems like the walls were built to keep things hiddenâor maybe from getting out. Davidâs suspicions are confirmed when he uncovers a secret room that looks like it hasnât been touched in ages. Inside, an ancient desk and carving of a raven beckon to him. Suddenly, disaster seems to follow him everywhere, and he starts to notice connections between the terrible events happening around him and the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. Has David unleashed a dark force by opening the room? Or has the room awakened something in David that he doesnât recognize? - Albert Whitman & Co
