Contemporary American horror literature for children and young adults has two bold messages for readers: adults are untrustworthy, unreliable and often dangerous; and the monster always wins (as it must if there is to be a sequel). Examining the young adult horror series and the religious horror series for children (Left Behind: The Kids) for the first time, and tracing the unstoppable monster to Seuss's Cat in the Hat, this book sheds new light on the problematic message produced by the combination of marketing and books for contemporary American young readers.

Around the age of 12, I was inspired to write about strange and scary things because of the events that took place in my grandparents' house. There are many stories that go along with that house and one ghost along with it. His name is John, and he is the ghost that lurks in my grandparents' house to this very day. Many of the ghostly experiences that I personally witnessed in my grandparents' house tie in with my stories; also a lot of the characters are based on my family members and friends that were there with me through these scary times. Just remember, every little creek, knock, or shadow might not just be your imagination. If you dare to enter this book, be ready to experience the chilling sensation down your spine, the feeling of nowhere to turn, and the presence of the unknown surrounding you.
