Description:
<p><strong>The final instalment in the Book of Screams series.</strong></p>
<p>Tanya and Niah lure writer Joel Southland to a local coffee shop to find out his scheme. But soon, customers are collapsing around them, lulled into an unnatural sleep—Southland's (and the evil ink's) doing. When Southland tells Tanya he needs her help to draw the ink back to its origins, it seems her only option. However, the ink is cunning. And it will take all Tanya's smarts to try to trap it...or else she might be trapped herself.</p>
<p>Woven into the main story are other nightmares the ink has been collecting, including a story of a boy haunted by the long hair clogging a drain, two friends hoping to get famous by livestreaming their hot-pepper-eating challenge, and Gory Gary, a gruesome ghoul who pops up instead of Bloody Mary because he's bored. It's a mix of frights and chills and laughs, perfect for middle-grade readers.</p><p><strong>Key Selling Points</strong></p>
<ul><li>In this last instalment of the Book of Screams series, Tanya has one final chance to trap the evil ink—unless it traps her first. Other stories include two friends going too far for internet fame, a boy whose count to infinity renders him all-powerful, and a bored ghoul visiting the mall.</li>
<li>Jeff Szpirglas has again concocted a thrilling mix of scares, from monsters to body horror to classroom frights, along with a dash of humor, perfect for middle-grade readers.</li>
<li>This final book in the trilogy gives us a fitting finale to the ongoing Tanya story—the stakes are bigger and no one (even Tanya) is safe.</li>
<li>Andrew P. Barr has provided spine-chilling illustrations, one to accompany each story.</li>
<li>The first book in the series, <em>Book of Screams</em>, is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a nominee for the BC Young Readers' Choice Awards in the Red Cedar category and the Forest of Reading Red Maple Award.</li>
<li>Jeff Szpirglas is a horror aficionado and middle-grade teacher known for his creepy middle-grade reads, including <em>Tales from the Fringes of Fear</em>, <em>Tales from Beyond the Brain</em> and the Countdown to Danger series.</li>
