Halloween Hijinks: Storm Unleashes Wacky Chaos for Classic Frights. Scared Child Finds Common Ground with Ghosts, Witches, Vampires and More.
Have you ever been afraid of what's lurking on a dark and stormy night? Take comfort in the difference between expectation and reality in When the Lights Go Out.
This delightfully spooky children's book begins with a storm sweeping through a small town on the eve of Halloween. Huddled under his blanket, a young boy fears the worst: night stalking monsters are coming to haunt him. Unbeknownst to him, the storm is not a harbinger of horror but a catalyst of comical predicaments for the very creatures he fears.
As the little boy trembles in bed, a frightful menagerie of werewolves, zombie, mummies and more find themselves caught up in slapstick situations brought about by the pouring rain. With each turning page, the boy learns that these figments of his worst nightmares are far too busy with their own troubles to even think about haunting him.
When the Lights Go Out is a charming tale that turns fear into fun, presenting a fresh take on Halloween's most famous monsters. Its zany humor, vibrant illustrations, and heartwarming narrative will entertain children and young adults alike, proving that sometimes things aren't as scary as they seem, and that even the creepiest crawlies can have off nights. An enchanting read for any time of the year, but especially on a stormy, blackout night.
