Teen Horror Fiction

Most schools are about being the best. This school? It's about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary. I should know. Because I'm trapped here.

What do you wish for most? It's a question that Oswald, Sarah, and Millie think they know the answer to.

In this volume, horror master Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of his series' canon.

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them . . . including Dimitri.
