Is the Clay family jinxed? That’s the word going around the town of Dimvale. Ever since Morton, James, and their older sister Melissa moved with their dad into the old house formerly owned by comic book artist John King, creator of Morton’s favorite comic, the magnificently creepy Scare Scape, magic and monsters have come to life around them. After the deluge of horrors in Fisher’s series opener, Scare Scape (2013), James and Melissa are comically shellshocked and at first turn a blind eye to the odd two-headed rat or levitating middle schooler. But it soon becomes evident that if the town is not to be deluged with slavering weirdness, they will need to take action - and they’ll need help. Great contemporary lite horror - fills the gap between Goosebumps and Jonathan Maberry’s Rot & Ruin series.
