About This Book

Watch the Video Book Trailer

There are two sides to this story — one is written, the other is on video. Something mysterious is happening in Skeleton Creek.  Something scary.  Something sinister. Ryan came close to it... and nearly died.  Now he's trapped in his house.  He can't trust anyone — not even himself.  He is forbidden from seeing his best friend, Sarah.  So while Ryan is isolated and alone, she plunges back into the mystery, putting her life on the line to get to the truth.

Ryan is desperately trying to write down the full story.  And while he does, Sarah takes videos of what she finds, then sends him the links so he can watch. Together, they discover: The past is dangerous.  The present is haunted.  And the future is deadly.

Welcome to Skeleton Creek.  Read it. Watch it. Live it.

Skeleton Creek contains links to almost an hour of exclusive video footage.  The book is Ryan's story.  The videos are Sarah's.

"...Carman’s accessible, journal-type text, full of mystery and foreshadowing, pulls from the outset."  — Booklist
