About the Book

Few campers at Camp Apple Hill Farm have found the mysterious cabin rumored to be hidden deep in the woods, but those who have whisper of a mysterious woman who tells tales of horrors beyond imagination. Find out if you’re brave enough for Tales from Cabin 23—the thrilling new series created by award-winning authors Justina Ireland and Hanna Alkaf.

Sean knows that one disaster tends to leads to another—like when his mother got sick and the cost of the treatment meant they had to move out of their cozy Texas home. As they try to get back on their feet, Sean’s parents send him to stay with his aunt and cousin, Zeke, in Victorvale, Massachusetts—a seaside town that has seen its own share of bad luck, with crumbling houses sitting on an eroding coastline that threatens to fall into the sea. It is into one of these decrepit old mansions that Sean and Zeke, along with their classmate Jenny, venture, looking for a neighbor’s lost cat. Before they can rescue it, though, lightning cracks, the ground rumbles, and the cliffside crumbles….

When Sean and Jenny come to, they find themselves trapped inside a house on its side, half submerged in the ocean, leaning against a sheer wall of rock. Zeke is in a room somewhere below them—one that is filling with water. And as night falls and the storm picks up, they discover there may be something else in the house with them.

Now, the three friends must escape before the cold water—or whatever lurks within it—consumes them.

And don’t miss the other books in the hit Tales from Cabin 23 series: The Boo Hag Flex, Night of the Living Head, and?The Visitors!
