There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier.
About the Author
Hi, I'm Lora Senf! I'm a reader and writer of dark and twisty stories for all ages. I owe my love of words to my parents and to the public library that was walking distance from my childhood home. I find inspiration for my writing all over the place - from my kids' retellings of their dreams to road trips through Montana, and most recently, in an abandoned abattoir!I love the reading and writing communities. I'm a member of SCBWI, Horror Writers Association, and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. I live in Washington State with my husband, our twins, and two remarkably lazy cats. The Clackity is my first novel. I hope you enjoy it!
