It started as a game.
Tall Tales Week at Weirkirk Primary was meant to be harmless fun. The rule was simple: the taller the tale, the better the story.
Connor Hale makes one up on the spot - a pale, thin figure that stands outside bedroom windows at night. He adds long arms. A silent walk. A face that doesn't blink.
The next night, something is standing outside his window.
At first, it only appears when the story is told. Each new detail makes it stronger. Each whisper makes it taller. When teachers mention it. When parents start asking questions. When the whole town begins looking into the dark...
It grows.
Connor discovers the terrifying rule too late:
The more you describe it, the more real it becomes.
Now Weirkirk is talking. Adults are posting pictures. Kids are repeating the name. Torches sweep the streets at night.
And the thing in the shadows is listening.
To stop it, Connor must convince an entire town to do the one thing people are worst at doing...
Stay silent.
From the DeadQuiet series comes a fast-paced, rule-based horror perfect for readers aged 10-16 who love creeping dread, small-town secrets, and monsters that don't chase - they wait.
Because some stories don't need teeth.
They just need to be told.
