Night Terror: Bleak Haven, Book 2

by Vincent Ralph, Josh Hurley (Narrator)

Welcome to Bleak The town you won't (or can't!) leave... The second nail-biting novel in the Bleak Haven series, in Vincent Ralph's signature, terrifying style!

Bleak Haven High's senior class of 1987 have already survived the town's most horrifying tragedy to date. As a result, 17-year-old Noah understands everything there is to know about monsters.

When the bookstore that Noah works in is held up by masked attackers, he assumes they want cash. But the assailants aren't demanding a ransom. They are searching for Bleak Haven's very own urban legend—The Burning Book.

After something with a thirst for flesh creeps from the book's pages, Noah must use his knowledge of Bleak Haven's terrifying history to help his fellow hostages escape the mall, without turning their town into another bloodbath.
