Pike, Christopher

Adam and his friends are exploring the forest near Spooksville when they come across huge blocks of ice hidden among the trees. They decide to melt one, but when they do, a strange man comes out of the ice and tries to grab them. The man has very cold hands, and his eyes aren't too warm either! Soon there are dozens of Cold People running around Spooksville freezing everyone. It seems like nothing can stop them. But Adam and his friends have an idea that just might save the day.

When Adam and his friends stay up late one night, they see bright lights in the sky. Lights that look suspiciously like flying saucers. Then, the next night, one of the saucers lands by the reservoir, and the creatures who come out of the ship don’t look like people at all. Worse, they want Adam and his friends to come with them for a little ride in space. In fact, the aliens insist, and it doesn’t look like they'll be coming back anytime soon.

There is a famous cave located just outside of Spooksville. A lot of stories surround the dark place-scary ones as well as exciting ones. Adam decides to explore the cave with his friends Watch, Sally and Cindy. But the moment they step inside the cave, the entrance closes behind them. Trapped, in the dark, they walk deeper and deeper into the cave, frantically searching for a way out. But the batteries in their flashlights begin to run low. And then they realize something is following them. Something that has been in the cave for a long time...something big, black, and hungry.

A nasty old ghost takes Cindy's younger brother, Neil. Cindy is left heartbroken with no one to believe and help her find her brother.

Five teenagers involved indirectly in the suicide of Betty Sue find they are the only ones alive in a dead world. What is going on?.

Told from the perspective of a seventeen-year-old boy in love with a mysterious girl who seems to have an unearthly ability to heal, but the ability carries quite a cost.

Adam does not believe his new hometown is called "Spooksville" until he and some new friends pass through a dark doorway into a world with huge spiders, living skeletons, evil knights, and a witch who makes dolls from kids.
