Something Howls on Shady Creek Road

By Stephanie Crenshaw

Something Howls on Shady Creek Road is a chilling middle grade mystery filled with eerie woods, strange howls in the night, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Tripp has lived on the farm long enough to know every sound outside his bedroom window. Coyotes in the distance. Frogs after rain. Wind moving through the trees.

But one night, the howling changes.

When Chief, the family dog, begins acting strangely, Tripp and his older brother Landon find themselves drawn toward something hidden deep in the woods beyond Shady Creek Road. The closer they get to the truth, the stranger things become-whispers in the dark, shadows between the trees, and a feeling that something is watching them from just beyond the light.

As fear spreads through the small town and danger creeps closer to home, the brothers must decide whether some secrets are worth uncovering... or whether certain things were meant to stay hidden forever.

Perfect for readers who love spooky adventures, creepy mysteries, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Something Howls on Shady Creek Road blends small-town atmosphere, family bonds, and haunting folklore into a story that will keep readers turning pages long after dark.
