Fear Files: Hide and Seek

By Christopher Edge

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?
