When the Ghost Dog Howls

When the Ghost Dog Howls

Series: Goosebumps HorrorLand (Book #13)
by R.L. Stine
"It has powers you may not want to unleash."

Twelve-year-olds Andy and Marnie had an awesome week in HorrorLand — despite their freaky encounter with Murder the Clown and the zombie mob. Then they think they've won big when they get a FREE souvenir from HorrorLand's Chiller House: a hound's tooth necklace. The big tooth is yellow, as two sharp points, and, according tot he creepy shopkeeper, is said to grant wishes.

But Jonathan Chiller knows something else about the tooth. It's said to be haunted by the ghost of a huge hound. A ghost that's got a mouthful of sharp teeth — but wants this one back.

Unlucky book #13 kicks off an entirely new type of terror that will keep you guessing and quaking until book #19.

Each eerie adventure of this seven-book arc begins with a trip to the Chiller House, a gift shop only found in HorrorLand. Kids are invited to take a little horror home with them and given a souvenir and a miniature Horror. At home, the kids experience wild things with their "free" gift, while the glowing, menacing Horror keeps an eye on the fun. When it's time for their payment, the Horror takes them back to shopkeeper Jonathan Chiller.

Goosebumps HorrorLand #13: When the Ghost Dog Howls is the first book in this seven-book HorrorLand story arc.
