Scarewaves #2
Beyond the Grave
A new terror descends upon the haunted town of Beacon Point in the sequel to Scarewaves by Internet horror superstar Trevor Henderson, complete with new spine-tingling illustrations!
It's been six months since the events of Scarewaves, and in that time, Beacon Point has enjoyed an uncommon period of peace and quiet -- but nothing lasts forever . . .
Mary, Byron, Rebecca, and Luke have done their best to move on with their lives and forget the strangeness that lurks beneath the surface of Beacon Point. But while Alan Graves, the enigmatic radio host, may be long gone, his specter looms large over the group -- literally.
When strange but beautiful lights begin to appear in the night sky, the kids have good reason to be wary. Soon, they each encounter strange events that spell out paranormal activity. With the help of Alan Graves, now broadcasting from beyond the grave, the kids discover what's really behind these strange encounters, and they'll have to work harder than ever before to make it out of this alive . . .

5/5
This book will captivate you if you love spooky reads. Kids are disappearing, there's weird lights in the forest again, and a group of kids are still dealing with the aftermath of the last monster that was in town.
TLDR;
Characters: ★★★★★
Mary, Byron, Luke, and Rebecca are back, but the group is fractured after the events of the last book. Relatable and honest, you will love these characters as they fight for their lives and their town.
Atmosphere: ★★★★★
Pure horror in the 90s. Dark, foreboding, and mysterious. No one is safe in Beacon Point.
Plot, Pacing, and Premise: ★★★★★
Enjoyable plot with steady pacing that never drags. The premise is good and the book follows it so you will enjoy it if you like disgusting monsters and kids messing around in the forest at midnight.
Tone: ★★★★★
Dark and foreboding. Alan Graves' radio transcripts add mystery and pizzazz that you wouldn't expect.
Intrigue: ★★★★★
Lights that show up every few decades? Alan Graves, a dead radio host, showing up with a warning? Radio transcripts? Art in every chapter? There's something to grab everyone.
Versus (Strengths & Weaknesses): ★★★★★★
Characters, atmosphere, tone, and horror all-round. The entire book is strong. Not 100% accurate artwork, but 95% is still good.
Audience:
Grade 5 and up. Teens and adults can even enjoy this when knowing it's a juvenile horror book.
Themes: ★★★★★
The Magic of Friendship! Great themes for the recommended age range and target audience.
Ending: ★★★★★
Solid and satisfying. Leaves some loose ends (third book?) but it leaves you wanting more in all the best ways.
Character
Mary, Byron, Luke, and Rebecca have had 6 months off from the terror of monsters. Some of the group have moved (Beverly) leaving Byron feeling isolated and Luke has asked for time alone to process.
I really enjoyed watching each character as they went about their day, seeing how the events of the last book left lingering effects. Each of their rationale was understandable but you still wanted the group to figure it out.
Already a tighter cast with 4 main characters instead of the 7 we had in the last book. I enjoyed this much more and it was easy to follow and connect with them this time around. I also enjoyed Gavin and Toby's parts.
Atmosphere
Trevor Henderson is magnificent in creating Beacon Point. It's spooky, unsettling, and full of secrets. It's the town you want to drive through instead of stopping for gas. I'm pretty sure this is set in the 90s and there's just something about horror in the 90s that really makes me love it.
Plot, Pacing, and Premise
The plot was steady and held up among the characters. Seeing as there were multiple POVs and some of the group were separated for a while, it was done in a way that was clean and organized.
The premise is the same as the last book, when monsters start appearing can a group of friends survive long enough to get rid of them? What's not to love? You have disgusting monsters, kids who are disappearing, and the power of friendship!! The book matched the premise and I loved it.
Tone
Again, Trevor Henderson is a MASTER. The tone is dark but not overwhelming. It has comic relief but not in a way that's over the top or takes you out of the story. It's dark, creepy, and mysterious.
The inclusion of Alan Graves' BCON Radio transcripts were amazing, as usual. It really helped keep the tension up and lock in that foreboding atmosphere. Alan knows more than us and he only shares what he wants, when he wants. It's perfect tension control.
Intrigue
I will read anything by Trevor Henderson. I was an official stan of him from the first book. But, knowing that the group is back at it with new monsters, that's something I want to read, especially for Halloween.
Versus (Strengths & Weaknesses)
Henderson's strengths are clearly the whole horror genre. He keeps things scary, unsettling, and spooky. His art really adds to the feeling of the book. The mysterious lights tied into the UFO idea was fun, but tied in with his artwork it really reminds me of Stephen King's deadlights from IT. That layer, maybe not being picked up on by juveniles, gives so much more fear to older people picking up this book. I LOVED IT.
Weaknesses, I suppose just that the book ended? I am curious about Mary and why she seemed to be singled out by Alan. I guess, if I had to name something, sometimes the art doesn't match the writing completely. Usually there's a feature missing, but it's not that necessary.
This book felt a lot stronger than the last one, maybe I'm just reading it in a better mood, but it was amazing. It felt tighter and more focused.
Audience
I think grade 5+ will enjoy this book. The pictures might be too scary for younger kids, but it's not on Stephen Gammell/Alvin Schwartz level of terrifying. As an adult, I loved it and found much joy from the whole experience.
Theme
Friendship! Don't go into forests at night. Healing. Distance. Mistakes.
This is a book about friends who may or may not be trauma bonded, but who work together to protect their town. They fight for their friendship and show respect to each other as they fight their trauma and fears from the past and present. Friendship overcomes all obstacles. And seriously, stop going into the forest at night people.
Ending
Great! Not everything is wrapped up perfectly, so there is room for a third book in the series (I believe). I am left wanting more in all the best ways possible. Like in any good horror story, things are settled, but not completely.

I had an important realization while reading the second SCAREWAVES book by Trevor Henderson. It's nothing new, I suppose, but Henderson's rag-tag team of teens reminded me that gore and violence is not what makes horror scary.
BEYOND THE GRAVE picks up where the first SCAREWAVES book leaves off, with the group of kids from Beacon Point who survived the previous book's urban legends. When Alan Graves appears to each and warns them about the lights at the end of Marrow Trail—that people in town could be in danger—the kids come together to solve the mystery.
I promise: you'll never guess what's causing those lights—or whats' causing the weird, pink slime monsters to emerge around town.
Henderson has a knack for creating creepy monsters, and SCAREWAVES is full of them (and full of his awesome illustrations). He does so withouth having to rip anyone's limbs off or fill them with parasites or shoot anyone in the head—things that could truly traumatize his middle-grade and elementary school readers. I love that this book is still genuinely scary—unsettling, full of mystery and menace, unimaginable horrors along with classic creepy tropes—but also heartwarming. I love seeing the friends in this story work together as a team.
My only complaint is that some of the characters are hard to keep straight in my head. I think that SCAREWAVES's target audience may take the book a little slower and do a better job at keeping them straightened out. I appreciate that this book is made for an age level that can handle spooky stuff, but may need simpler dialogue and character dynamics.
For horror readers of all ages.

I quite enjoyed the first Scarewaves book, feeling it did an excellent job at creating some scares, high stakes, and giving us likable characters. Did the sequel hold up to the standards of the first book?
For the most part, I feel like it did. The book picks up some time after the events of the first one, and we see how the kids have been affected by what they went through; one of them is suffering from insomnia, two others are keeping their distance from the rest of the group, another ended up leaving town, reducing our group of protagonists by one. I enjoyed the author portraying how realistic this is, how the kids don't just eventually get over their traumatic experiences.
That being said, while the story and the horror elements were still good, they were not quite as good as those in the first book. The story's a bit more straightforward and we don't get to see enough of other townsfolk like we saw in the first book. And while the monsters are gross and creepy, especially with going the body horror route and reminiscent of John Carpenter's The Thing, I missed the variety of supernatural creatures the first book had. Also, I feel the story ended too abruptly, and I wasn't much of a fan of the route they took with the Alan Graves character.
It wasn't a bad book, though. It was still fun, enjoyable, and I always admire how bold the author is with the scares and monsters, not holding anything back. I just preferred the first book, but I enjoyed this one too and am curious to see what the future holds for this series.

This was fun!
I will say, however, that I had to listen to this audiobook twice because I zoned out the first time. I don't know what it is about the books in this series that I always end up not paying attention the first time around. The story is terrifying once I truly focus, but this is one of the only instances where I will fully disconnect from what I'm listening to.
That being said, I definitely was more tuned in the second time around and I ended up really enjoying this--in a way, I enjoyed this more than book one. I do think that these books are sometimes a little too scary to be a middle grade novel, but I'm sure there's a kid out there who will love this.
I think the creepiest thing about this book is that it doesn't hold any punches. It doesn't dumb things down or soften anything dark just because it's a middle grade novel. The victims in this don't always survive and the monsters are twisted and scary.
I'm looking forward to the next book and what might come next for these characters!
Happy reading!

Beware of the lights. Don’t go to Marrow Trail. Be afraid of the dark.
😱 Just like with the previous book, I loved how no one is safe. The author will kill them off. Even the main characters are not safe from this, though this time no one dies. But it is a close one. Several times I thought one of the MCs would die. I love it when authors don’t shy away from murdering everything and everyone.
😱 What happened to the people who went missing. Hey, author, thanks for the freaking nightmares. Not just due to the illustrations but also because of the descriptions. And as the story continues things got increasingly disturbing and WTF-y.
Maya Rudolph, Weird Face, Shock, GIF
😱 Love getting POVs of the MCs (Mary, Rebecca, Kyle, Byron, Lucas/Luke) but also from other people in town (though if you read the first book you know that these POVs don’t end well).
😱 The POVs of people in town were fantastic. Creepy. Haunting. Scary. Seeing what they were seeing. See what crawls in the dark. See that nowhere in town is a safe haven.
😱 The Cover! The Art! I knew I was going to be in for a treat. Well, I have to say again, thanks for the nightmares. Holy crap. The things that go bump in this one? Sleep is overrated. The things here were creepy and haunting and terrified the fuck out of me. OK, some parts also had my stomach flipping around.
😱 The broadcasts from Alan Graves, in which we learn more about the history of Beacon Point, the lights that haunt it, the settlers, the strange fuckery that has been happening since the beginning.
😱 The epilogue. Ah heck nah.
The Office, Man in Suit, Nope, GIF
😱 What those lights were/are. And what those things that crawl around it are. I got some heavy Dandadan vibes, that is what I will say.
😱 Seeing our characters never give up, even when things get terrifying and all they want is just hide, eat chocolate. They keep on fighting to save people. To help the town. To make sure everything is OK again.
😱 Alan Graves. We get his broadcasts, but he is also playing a much bigger, and scarier role in this one. He is thankful he was let out of the basement. And he, in his disturbing way, helps the kids. From static forms in the middle of the night, to sky doing things you saw in Gravity Falls or a Cthulhu horror, to visions, to seeing him actual in some kind of spooky room. He is here and he has things to say. Warnings. But also much more. Things that had me gasping. And made me even more curious about this town and all that inhabits it.
😱 The last part. The battle. The fight. The trauma. I was rooting so hard for the kids to be alright. To be fine. To get out of this.
😱 Seeing what the previous book’s events have done to the kids. We see that those events really caused some big trauma and that the group fell apart. Through each MC POV we read how the monsters in the previous book affected them. From not being able to sleep unless the curtains are open, to hiding a scarecrow in the basement, to other things. I loved how the kids eventually got back together, even if it means fighting again. I am glad that they discovered their friendship again and I feel that they will come out stronger after this terrifying event. They know now that friendship is powerful and that they can talk about things. Overcome things together.
😱 Reading about Beacon Point. The empty houses. The darkness that settles so easily. The shadows. The stores abandoned. It was spooky, but it was also sad. Then again, to be fair, I would also not want to live anywhere near this place. Nope. Not even for a million euros.
🤔 I am still very confused about the ages of these kids. At times they feel more like 12-14, other times much older. Like at one point Lucas/Luke drives a car. Sure, he was taught by his dad, but it still aged up the characters.
🤔 Kyle. Kyle is still my least favourite character. Maybe because he is so young and just doesn’t fit the group. Maybe because of how he talks like a 6-8 year old. Even after 2 books now with him I just don’t know what to think of him.
All in all, I loved every part of this book and I flew right through it. In one go. I had to just keep on reading. I would highly recommend this one! Plus, given what we learn I am fairly sure there will be more books, and I cannot wait!

The illustrations were so good and spooky, just like last time!
I found the beginning a bit slow, because until chapter 12 (of 27), the five protagonists are travelling mostly separately, and the reader is told basically the same story five times from each perspective. Once the kids got together, the book really picked up speed!
I wish the kids had found out a bit more about the mysteries themselves, instead of stumbling into it or getting help by Alan.
I like the main cast and I really really love the whole monster concept!
I think I liked the first book a bit better. Overall, I enjoyed the book a lot!

Beyond the grave is my first Scarewaves book but I enjoyed it. Sure it didn’t break a lot of new ground with the kids vs horror theme but it was written very well. Plus the twist of what is actually happening is a great addition. I will go back to check out the first Scarewaves book for sure. I wish I would have read book one first to learn more about the whole Graves situation but I will read book one before book 3. Fun story, well written and enjoyable.

A fantastic follow-up to the first book. It digs its nails into your skin and doesn't let go. I can't wait for book #3.

A weird mix of The Thing and Nope. Super creepy and god that monster is gross. The image of it did not/totally did help.
