It’s a special kind of joy to watch your kid grow up into an avid bookworm. Thank you to Ember for your story enthusiasm, and for wanting to hear all the details, especially about the spooky stuff. It’s been very motivating. And thank you to Nick for all your support, in this and all things.
Also, as always, thank you to the rest of our family. Our parents, Rich and Rose; in-laws, Lyn and Bruce; and siblings, Rosi, Ed, Jesse, and Ashley. We’re so glad to have you in our corner.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
HEIDI LANG (RIGHT) & KATI BARTKOWSKI (LEFT) are a writing team of two sisters. Heidi is afraid of all things that go bump in the night but watches shows like The X-Files and Stranger Things anyhow. Kati enjoys reading about serial killers and the apocalypse but secretly sleeps with a night-light. They believe that the best way to conquer fear is to share it with as many people as possible, so between the two of them, they love creating stories full of all the things that scare them most. They are the coauthors of the Whispering Pines series and the Mystic Cooking Chronicles trilogy.
