About this item
Reminiscent of Doll Bones and Small Spaces, this "delightfully eerie" (Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows) middle grade novel tells the story of a girl who must rescue her aunt by entering a world of ghosts, witches, and monsters to play a game with deadly consequences.. Evie Von Rathe lives in Blight Harbor - the seventh-most haunted town in America - with her Aunt Desdemona, the local paranormal expert. Des doesn't have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town. But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her. 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!
