Description
An ominous presence lurks in the shadows awaiting visitors who linger too long in this eerie horror for struggling teen readers from internationally bestselling author Steve Cole.
Everyone knows the abandoned old house at the edge of the woods is haunted, but one reckless boy steps inside for a dare. Creeping through the dust-covered rooms, he finds a strange message scrawled on the wall: Stay Too Long. Then, he finds letters scattered on the floor written by previous visitors. Lingering, he begins to feel the chill of a strange presence in the gloom ... is it too late to run?
