About this book
Graves End is your average small town, other than the fact that it's surrounded by cemeteries on all sides and the dead outnumber the living...
There's also the swarms of red-eyed bats that fill the sky every night, the mysterious disappearances, and the constant strange goings-on that residents refuse to talk about. But still, like any small town, teenagers find a way to liven things up, even in a dead-end town like Graves End.
Amongst the tombstones, Parker West and his small gang of high school misfits find the one place they fit in, and form a lifelong bond as The Graveyard Club. A little light mischief and gentle havoc keep them entertained in their dull town, but their misadventures will lead The Graveyard Club to suddenly find themselves with bigger problems than just trying to survive senior year...
Master of scares R.L. Stine (Fear Street, Goosebumps, Stuff of Nightmares) puts his stamp on YA horror graphic novels with this new series of teen terrors featuring hair-raising art from celebrated illustrator Carola Borelli (Spider-Woman).
