Gloom Town

In this delightfully creepy novel, twelve-year-old Rory takes a job at a mysterious old mansion owned by the peculiar Lord Foxglove in his gloomy seaside town. As he discovers Foxglove's sinister intentions to steal the shadows of the townspeople, Rory teams up with his friend Isabella to uncover the truth and thwart the ancient evil plans at play. Packed with elements of magic and seafaring mythology, this tale offers an engaging blend reminiscent of Lemony Snicket, Jessica Townsend, and Edward Gorey.
