Fear Files: Hide and Seek
Fear Files: Hide and Seek | Christopher Edge
1 post | 1 read
Coming to find you, ready or not! The first title in a brand new middle-grade horror series by the award-winning author Christopher Edge. Nobody knows who started the Darkive. It's a database filled with first-hand accounts of strange, unexplained experiences. Ghosts; paranormal entities; weird anomalies. Each one is stored with a bank of evidence to prove the story. Are you ready to dive in? Adam didn't think his summer holiday could get any worse. His camping trip with his best friend, Sol, seems to be doomed. They've been arguing, and now they find themselves in a strange, abandoned town, where they are told to take part in a game of hide-and-seek. But the rules are hard to follow. And who, or what, are they hiding from?

After joining his best friend Sol & his family on a camping trip, Adam is feeling a bit bored & restless. He decides to go for a walk & Sol tags along, & in the middle of nowhere they happen upon a strange town. All the houses & shops are cheerily decorated but eerily silent with no people around & there is a bandstand in the middle of the town square with an odd statue in it.

OutsmartYourShelf In trying to leave the town, Adam inadvertently triggers a bizarre game of of hide & seek where 'only one may go free''.

This first book in a new series of middle-grade horror is a winner! The storyline is well thought out & the author develops a continuing sense of menace from an unknown enemy. Even though I'm not the target audience, I really enjoyed it & it reminded me a bit of the Point Horror series of the 90s,

OutsmartYourShelf but for a slightly younger audience. I'll definitely be checking out further titles in the series. 4🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Walker Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
