"Clever, twisted, and deliciously spooky. As terrifying as it is entertaining. Check under your bed, lock the doors, and settle in. This spine-tingling, scary story demands to be read under the covers with a flashlight!”
—NOELLE IHLI,
author of Run on Red
The Snake Lady stands at the foot of Charlie’s bed, smiles, and unhinges her jaw . . .
Empathetic fourth grader Charlie asks his new classmate Monica why she’s crying. She whispers to him about the Snake Lady:
Her demonic red eyes . . . her voice like a thousand razors dragged across exposed bone . . . the stench of decay . . . the maniacal snickering . . .
Once Charlie knows the Snake Lady’s story, she’s passed on to him like a virus.
Now the Snake Lady slithers from the shadows of Charlie’s bedroom closet, paralyzing him and ingesting him a little more each night.
With the help of his big brother Jake, Charlie frantically struggles to destroy the beast before she engulfs him.
But how do you slay a monster who lives in your imagination?
