<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Gabe and Seth used to play make-believe games in the woods behind Seth's family farm. It was the perfect creepy landscape for imagining they were up against beasts and monsters and villains. Just as Gabe's decided he's outgrown their childish games, though, it appears that their most monstrous creation could be real.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Has Gabriel created a monster?<p></p>Something sinister lurks in the woods outside of Slade.Gabe has seen it, or he thinks he has - a shadow standing at the tree line, watching Gabe's house with faintly glowing eyes.Despite Gabe's misgivings, his new friend, Seth, relishes the creepy atmosphere of the forest. It's the perfect setting for his imaginary struggle against the Hunter, a deformed child-eating creature said to leave the bones of his victims in his wake. It's just a game, but it's all a bit much for Gabe, who quickly loses interest as summer ends and the days grow shorter.But then strange things start to happen. Frightening things. And Gabe knows it has to do with the dark figure watching him from the edge of the woods.Is Seth out to teach Gabe a lesson? Or is the Hunter more than just a myth? Gabe isn't sure which option is more horrifying, but he's determined to learn the truth before someone gets hurt . . . or worse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Book of Bad Things</i>: </b>"Ghostly . . . grotesque . . . eerie . . ." -- <i>Booklist</i>"Poblocki's return, full of mystery, monsters and ghosts, is sure to satisfy his fans.
