Coming to find you, ready or not!

The first title in a brand new middle-grade horror series by the bestselling author Christopher Edge.


Nobody knows who started the Darkive. It's a database filled with first-hand accounts of strange, unexplained experiences. Ghosts; paranormal entities; weird anomalies. Each one is stored with a bank of evidence to prove the story. Are you ready to dive in?

Adam didn't think his camping trip with his best friend, Sol, could get any worse. Stumbling upon an abandoned ghost town, they find themselves playing a strange game of hide and seek. But who or what is trying to find them? And can Adam stay one step ahead?

"Absolutely loved it! Gripping, atmospheric, claustrophobic ... A generation has just found their new nightmare fuel!" Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki

Uniquely terrifying and relentless, Hide and Seek is a brilliantly conceived nightmare that lingers in the shadows of your mind. I ran out of fingernails to bite long before the end.
