Dear avid horror book readers: Whatever you do, DON'T READ THIS RIGHT BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP! The Ghost of Graylock is an amazingly written but terrifying book. It's still good though, so don't let that stop you! I just finished reading it for the fifth time, and I had to read it on my couch curled up with a blanket during the middle of the day. Have you ever heard of the legend of terrifying ghost, Nurse Janet? Ventured into the woods to get your taste of the broken down mental hospital, Graylock Hall? These were two of the first things Neil Cady did when he went to stay with his aunts at Hedston after his dad moved out and his mom seeked help. Only, when he visits Graylock, it starts to get kind of creepy. Well, REALLY creepy. Everything seems frozen in time. He gets locked into room number 13 with his sister in the youth section. Suddenly the light on his camera dies. A dark shape crouches in the corner.... Bree seems determined to forget everything about Graylock, but no one can outrun that dark shape in the corner....

Everyone's heard the stories about Graylock Hall.
It was meant to be a place of healing - a hospital where children and teenagers with mental disorders would be cared for and perhaps even cured. But something went wrong. Several young patients died under mysterious circumstances. Eventually, the hospital was shut down, the building abandoned and left to rot deep in the woods.
As the new kid in town, Neil Cady wants to see Graylock for himself. Especially since rumor has it that the building is haunted. He's got fresh batteries in his flashlight, a camera to document the adventure, and a new best friend watching his back.
Neil might think he's prepared for what he'll find in the dark and decrepit asylum. But he's certainly not prepared for what follows him home. . . .
Scary, suspenseful, and surprising, Dan Poblocki's latest ghost story will keep you turning pages deep into the dead of night.
