Overview

This edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller pits an evil ghost who feeds off the fears of his victims against an 8th grade prankster with an attitude. All inside the gears of an antique pocket watch.

When 13-year-old Caleb has to move across the country after his dad’s car accident, he’s not happy about the small Pennsylvania railroad town he’s landed in. His anger makes him vulnerable to an evil ghost residing in an old pocket watch. When the Dreadmonger traps Caleb’s soul inside the watch, he joins many others who’ve been there for more than 100 years, held powerless by their fears.

Caleb must learn to overcome his fear and understand his control before he can discover how to escape. Finding the strength to save himself and help his new friends will push him to the edge of his reality.
