"This [young adult] novel, reminiscent of . . . Steven King, couples a thrilling horror story with a message important to early adolescents: No one is alone." -The ALAN Review

It looks like a pizza exploded on Nick Barry's face. But bad skin is the least of his problems. His bones feel like living ice. A strange rash-like scratches-seems to be some sort of ancient code. And then there's the anger . . .

Something evil is living under Nick's skin. Where did it come from? What does it want? With the help of a dead kid's diary, a nun, and a local professor, Nick slowly finds out what's wrong with him. But there's still one question that Nick must face alone: How do you destroy an evil that's inside you?

Praise for the Night Fall series:

"A high-interest, modern-day horror series . . . Each short book delivers an entertaining horrific tale, leaving appreciative readers gasping for breath." -School Library Journal
