Coming to find you, ready or not!
The first title in a brand new middle-grade horror series by the award-winning author Christopher Edge. Nobody knows who started the Darkive. It's a database filled with first-hand accounts of strange, unexplained experiences. Ghosts; paranormal entities; weird anomalies. Each one is stored with a bank of evidence to prove the story. Are you ready to dive in?
Adam didn't think his summer holiday could get any worse. His camping trip with his best friend, Sol, seems to be doomed. They've been arguing, and now they find themselves in a strange, abandoned town, where they are told to take part in a game of hide-and-seek. But the rules are hard to follow. And who, or what, are they hiding from?

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
This series opener of top-secret scares is an unsettling thrill of a tale perfect for fans of R. L. Stine's catalog. Adam and his main hide-and-seek partners, Kai and Jun, are realistic and easy to root for. Alongside the narrative are creepy illustrations, encyclopedia clippings that contextualize the content, and notes that expand upon the lore of the Fear Files and the Itter.
