The movie shows tomorrow. Tomorrow shows up four minutes later.
The Starview Drive-In has been closed since before Augie Delacroix was born. No cars. No popcorn. No power lines, no ticket booth, no reason on earth for anything out there to still work.
So why does the projector switch itself on every night at 9:13?
Augie has seen every movie ever made - twice - which is exactly how he knows this one is wrong. The film flickering across that five-story screen isn't a movie at all. It's tomorrow. And the stars are the kids sitting out in the weeds watching it. Whatever happens to you up on that screen happens to you down in the parking lot exactly four minutes later. Every time. Right on schedule.
His cousin Nell says run. Nell only came for the popcorn, she hates movies, and she has never once been wrong about when to leave a place.
But Augie has spent his whole life sitting in the dark with a projector humming behind him. He knows how film works. He knows how endings work. And he is pretty sure he can splice in a new one - a happy one, where the monster loses and everybody walks away and the lights come up.
It works.
Then the credits start to roll. And every single name on that screen is his.
Perfect for readers who like their scares fun, fast, and impossible to put down.
- A monster that lives inside a movie screen - and does not stay there
- A four-minute countdown you cannot outrun
- A hero who quotes films because he can't say how scared he is
- A cousin who is braver than he is and never lets him forget it
- Short chapters and a cliffhanger every few pages
- A twist ending that will make you flip back to Chapter 1
Why parents and teachers love Creep Street: Every book is a complete, standalone story with no cliffhanger between volumes - start anywhere in the series. Written for grades 3 through 6 at a reading level that hooks reluctant readers, with spooky-fun chills and no gore, no bad language, and no nightmares that follow anyone to breakfast. Around 15 short chapters make it an easy classroom read-aloud, library pick, or birthday gift for a kid who says they hate reading.
Creep Street is a growing series of standalone middle grade horror novellas in the great tradition of flashlight-under-the-covers scary stories - one creepy street, one strange town, and a brand-new monster every single book.
The show starts at 9:13. Do not stay for the credits.
