This middle grade spooky anthology—featuring new stories from Laurent Linn, R.L. Stine, Kami Garcia, Tonya Hurley, D.J. MacHale, Madeleine Roux and many more favorite authors, and curated by New York Times bestselling author and master of macabre Jonathan Maberry—is a chilling tribute to Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Don’t Turn Out the Lights

Adrian Piper is used to blending into the background. He may be a talented artist, a sci-fi geek, and gay, but at his Texas high school those traits would only bring him the worst kind of attention. In fact, the only place he feels free to express himself is at his drawing table, crafting a secret world through his own Renaissance-art-inspired superhero, Graphite. But in real life, when a shocking hate crime flips his world upside down, Adrian must decide what kind of person he wants to be. Maybe it’s time to not be so invisible after all—no matter how dangerous the risk.

After a hate crime occurs in his small Texas town, Adrian Piper must discover his own power, decide how to use it, and know where to draw the line in this stunning debut novel exquisitely illustrated by the author.
