Welcome to the Timeless Terminal, home of Spooky Tales from the Story Weaver, where we meet kids on their worst days, and the monsters behind them. Our host, the mysterious Station Master, has crammed the first three volumes into one monster box set: 30 stories and 6 games in all.
Every stop is a fresh ride: quick tales, more giggles than gore, chapters bite-sized for reluctant readers, best read together, whether that's bedtime, a campfire, or the back seat on a road trip. The ride gets a notch darker with every volume, so young readers grow braver as the train rolls on.
Already have the singles? This puts your entire shelf on one ticket, perfect to share.
Never ridden before? This is the entire line, start to final stop.
The mysterious Station Master welcomes new Travelers with his strangest tales:
- Garlic Breath: Chauncey VanCamp must survive his first hunt to pass Stalking 101... but his prey counters with something greater than bloodlust.
- The Phantom Pen: Jake's online ghostwriting business is booming... until he learns his clients are actual ghosts.
- Invasion of the Candy Snatchers: Trick-or-treat specialist Max discovers aliens working his route... and their bags hold more than candy.
The Station Master opens the Terminal's lost and found, and some of what's inside is still moving:
- The Wrong Bus: Melissa Chen boards Bus 47 by mistake. The driver knows her name, and the sign up front is very clear: never look out the back window.
- Smart House, Dumb Ghost: Danny Kowalski has happily haunted his cabin since 1973. Then the owners install Ruby, a relentlessly cheerful smart-home assistant.
- Pumpkin Face: Johnny Richardson is the most rotten kid at Beaumont Junior High. The strange new kid has a mask that fits him perfectly.
A crate of stories breaks loose, and the Station Master needs brave Travelers to recover them:
- Chauncey's New Fangs: The garlic bread vampire returns, and his fangs are killing him. No self-respecting vampire visits the dentist... especially one named Dr. Molar.
- The Haunted Backpack: Jan's backpack is destroyed by the school bully. The lost and found has a replacement. It's roomier than it looks.
- The Midnight Whistler: Darby Hendricks went to the cemetery at midnight to learn the truth behind the Whistler legend. His bike is still in the yard.
Plus 21 more tales and 6 games to play together: build monsters, forge urban legends, map lairs, and spin your own yarns.
The clock is chiming. The train is boarding.Tickets, please.
