Do you really know what’s lurking in the basement of your school?
Packing a bunch of dusty books into boxes doesn’t sound like a very difficult job, so Matt doesn’t think twice when the old librarian at his school offers him the chance to earn some cash on the weekend. But once he gets down to the dark, dark basement, he realizes he’s made a grave mistake.
Lurking in the deep corners of the library there are old student photos, horrific taxidermy and no exits. Can Matt find his way out before the creepy librarian preserves his presence in the basement forever?

“This brief, fast-paced novel, reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s short story ’The Landlady,’ will hook readers from the very first page as they’re eventually plunged into a living nightmare. Matt’s anxiety and fear are palpable; readers will readily identify with his plight. Black-and-white illustrations peppered throughout heighten the eerie mood. Satisfyingly chilling.”
“Ideal for timid intermediate grade levels craving light scares and humor. Educators could use this title to create figurative language lessons on metaphor and hyperbole. A gentle horror perfect for reading aloud, and for fans of Charles Gilman’s ’Tales from Lovecraft Middle School’ series.”
