"Try to conjure up an idea of the most horrifying Halloween witch and then imagine that she's real. For those with wiccaphobia, which is a fear of witches, this horror goes a step further by lasting all year long.

Vibrant photographs and graphics engagingly display each vivid description like a museum exhibit. Including the nervous system's response to fear and other strangely scientific information, this book is more than interesting...it's unbelievable!"--Amazon.com.

"Celeste knows she should be excited to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy, but she's not. Bugs, bad cell reception, and the dark waters of the lake . . . no thanks. On top of that, she just failed her swim test and hates being in the water--it's terrifying. But her grandparents are strong believers in their family knowing how to swim, especially having grown up during a time of segregation at public pools. And soon strange things start happening--the sound of footsteps overhead late at night. A flickering light in the attic window. And Celete's cousins start accusing her of pranking them when she's been no where near them!"--Amazon.

The only inn around is expensive, but worse than that, there's only one room!"--Back cover.
