“Look,” Kevin said. He pointed up the great dark face of the back of the lodge… “There’s our room.” Just then, though, the boys flinched. Several small, barely seen shapes seemed to flutter past their faces. “What was—” “—that?” Kevin finished. A faint chittery sound squeaked above them, rapid and whispery. Then the shapes fluttered past a second time. “Are those… birds?” Jimmy asked. “No,” Kevin finally realized. “They’re bats!” “Run!” Jimmy shouted. And they ran, alright. They ran as fast as they could… But before they could make it completely out of the darkness, and with the circles of bats still squeaking above their heads— A tall, dark figure quickly stepped out in front of them, blocking their way… --- When Kevin and his family visit his Aunt Carolyn, unusual things begin to happen, some of them downright creepy. And come to think of it, Aunt Carolyn is a bit creepy herself. She’s pale, thin, always wears black, and... Why has Kevin never seen her in daylight? She lives in an old hunting lodge way back in the woods, and the lodge is full of locked doors, dark hallways, and secret passages: a perfect place...for a vampire. And when the darkness falls and the shadows thicken, Kevin learns more about his aunt and her gloomy mansion in the woods. And he hears the strangest sounds at night. Why are so many bats seen around the lodge? Why is the grumpy groundskeeper digging around the back yard late in the wee hours? And was that really a coffin he saw in the basement through the crack in the door? When Kevin finally learns the answers to these questions, he’s left with no choice but to admit the truth: Vampires do exist, and his Aunt Carolyn isn’t the only bloodsucker in the house! Join Kevin, his family, and creepy Aunt Carolyn as the secret in the basement is finally revealed!

What was THAT? Terri heard a loud cracking sound coming from the open window. It’s coming from… the lake, she realized with a chill. The room was completely silent now. The steady, throbbing nightsounds had stopped the instant she’d heard the cracking, almost as if all those crickets and peepers had gotten scared from the noise and fell silent. And then— Ka-CRACK! She heard it again. And… SPLASH! Something had fallen into the lake, something that was very, very… big. It’s nothing, Terri, she kept telling herself. Nothing to be afraid of. It was probably just a tree branch breaking off and falling in the water. Yeah, she thought sleepily, her eyes growing heavy. Just a tree branch… falling… in the water… And a moment later, Terri fell fast asleep… She never heard the next sound that sailed out of the woods… A scream. --- Terri is looking forward to spending the summer with her new friend, Patricia. Hot lazy days ahead... That is until one night Terri looks out her window and sees something moving across her lawn. Something big. Something...scary.

But to do so she must head back to the old boathouse and unlock the secrets to the lake and it's horrible creatures. Creatures she thought could never exist... Monsters!
