About this audiobook
Evie Von Rathe lives in Blight Harbor—the seventh-most haunted town in America—with her Aunt Desdemona, the local paranormal expert. Des doesn’t have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town. But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her.
There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier. Evie reluctantly embarks on a journey into a strange otherworld filled with hungry witches, penny-eyed ghosts, and a memory-thief, all while being pursued by a dead man whose only goal is to add Evie to his collection of lost souls. Will she ever find Des, or is The Clackity planning something far more sinister?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! The perfect creepy. The setting is described in wonderful detail. The characters are perfect. I can’t wait to read more of their adventures.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic adventure on creeply places. Super fun! Great narration too!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book gave an atmosphere of genuine magic like a mix of a fairytale and a grim adventure. Its description was vivid and satisfying, the settings were fairytale-like memorable and intriguing. Its villains were frightening and fascinating. I really like how the clackity had so much character and strangeness like something straight out of Brothers Grimm, and I would say that this book is a rival to Coraline and it should be made into an animated film. It was a very clever and delicately written story and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is perfect for spooky season. It has everything I love like witches, magic, creepy houses, and a main character who is a little odd; but the best people are
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So fun! I am an avid adult horror reader and read this as a palette cleanser. I loved the whimsy mixed with deeply unsettling descriptions. Younger me would have devoured this.
