Some camping trips create memories. Others become nightmares.
When seventeen-year-old Quinn Hansen arrives at Riverbrooke with her family for their annual camping trip, she expects hiking trails, wildlife, and plenty of opportunities to practice her photography. Instead, she discovers that the beautiful lakeside campground hides a terrifying secret.
Every night, the water rises. Thick mist rolls through the trees. Strange sounds echo outside the cabins, and people disappear without explanation.
When Quinn learns that a creature from ancient folklore may be responsible, she and her brother, Jack, realize that surviving the night might not be enough. If they want to save the campers, they must uncover the creature’s weakness and risk everything to stop it...even if it means death.
But some things that lurk beneath the water have been waiting for their next victim for a very long time.
And at Riverbrooke, the most dangerous thing you can do after dark is step outside.
Enter if you dare...
NEWEST RELEASE!
Eight centuries. Eight places. Eight stories.
Across different times and far-flung places, something has been waiting.
A whisper in the woods.
A shadow where no one should be.
A door that should never open.
A presence that refuses to stay buried.
For centuries, people have encountered things they couldn't explain—strange occurrences that appeared to have no connection to one another.
Or so they thought.
WHEN THE CENTURY KNOCKS brings together eight chilling tales from Kirsten Gale, J.D. Setzer, Tamara Rector, Jim Donohue, Kendra Smart, Abby Woodland, Hayley Bernard-Ryan, and J.K. Charles, each exploring a different century, a different place, and a different nightmare.
What will come from the trees when the century knocks?
Why is it happening?
And what has been waiting all this time?
