Some Thing Calls From the Dark

Kayla Murphy hears an odd call for help in the dead of night coming from the creepy woods beyond her backyard. The voice is all she remembers when she wakes up on her bedroom floor below an open window the next morning.

At school, the teachers don't even notice that several kids have disappeared, and every time Kayla thinks about the voice from the woods, she gets a terrible headache. When her little brother goes missing and her parents forget he ever existed, Kayla treks into the woods that surround her home in the backcountry of West Virginia. Each dangerous step leads her closer to the monster of local folklore.

Some THING Calls from the Dark (Spooky Rumors series) is a middle school scary story with funny moments, featuring the Flatwoods Monster of West Virginia.
