(With Signed Bookplate*) Tales from Cabin 23: Night of the Living Head by Hanna Alkaf

Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods—but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Are you brave enough to visit Cabin 23? 

Twelve-year-old Alia has always had the worst luck. Whether it’s her parents moving her all the way from Kuala Lumpur to a tiny village or her shoes constantly coming untied, Alia can’t help but feel as if the universe has it out for her.

To top it all off, her estranged older sister, Ayu, has just reappeared in their lives after years away. Alia’s parents are delighted, but Alia is not so sure. She remembers the fights, the tears, the pain her sister caused and knows this is just another case of bad luck following her around.

Then Alia’s school fills with rumors of a horrifying creature spotted flying in the night sky. And Alia realizes that perhaps it’s not just her bad luck this time—but something more sinister is lying just under the surface of her town…and it’s up to Alia to put an end to it for once and for all.

And don't miss the first book in the Tales from Cabin 23 series: The Boo Hag Flex!



Review

"This story explores themes of family and what it means to be home. The writing is evocative and suspenseful. With just the right amount of eeriness, this is a perfectly crafted horror read for tweens that celebrates determination, resilience, and making one’s own luck. Reminiscent of Coraline and the “Are You Afraid of the Dark” series, this book is original and heart-pounding." — School Library Journal (starred review)

"Beautifully weaves Malaysian folklore into a gripping, deeply moving thriller that grapples with the devastating toll that secrets can take upon a family. A nail-biting, heart-pounding—and heart-breaking—adventure." — Kirkus Reviews
