Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Inside the ancient labyrinth house, hundreds of locked doors hide a dark secret—and the keys are held by a madman. On a dark Saturday night in mid-September, eighteen-year-old Buddy Nielson stumbles across a disturbing newspaper article detailing a local legend: a decrepit, hundreds-of-years-old house filled with locked doors that no one has been able to open for decades. Worse yet, rumors whisper of a madman who enters the house every October, dragging helpless victims inside. Intrigued by the spooky mystery, Buddy and his best friends, Carl and Jake, decide to investigate the premises before October arrives. But the legend is terrifyingly real. Within moments of entering, Carl is snatched by an eerie, blinding light and killed, returning as a hostile, soul-hungry spirit. Suddenly, the house turns upside down, plunging Buddy and Jake into the depths of a sinister graveyard world. To survive, they must team up with Shalic and Camry—a pair of specialized ghost-catchers armed with magical staffs—to navigate the treacherous underworld. Together, they face hordes of zombies, negotiate a tense truce with a deceptive vampire named Bloodsucker, and confront the ax-wielding madman Crunch in his basement control room. But escaping the graveyard world is only the beginning. When they return home, they discover the nightmare has followed them back to Earth, culminating in a mysterious breach at Ice-Heart High School that threatens everyone they care about. Can Buddy and his friends seal the portal and save Carl’s soul, or will they be trapped in the dark forever?
