Strongly recommended for fans of dark fantasy and YA graphic novels. - CEMETERY DANCE

Two modern-day kids and their 100-year-old new friend race the clock against a supernatural trickster out to upend their post-high school lives before they can start!

Andrea and Darra live in a dead-end Massachusetts town, making their way through high school with hopeful (but slim) dreams of escape. Everything's going according to plan until a chance encounter with an otherworldly spirit named Carmen changes everything!

Carmen promises Andrea eternal life, but a mysterious young boy named Liam shows up claiming he had also made a deal with Carmen, and it didn't go well...100 years ago. Liam must convince his new friends of Carmen's evil nature before Andrea is tricked into a supernatural bargain that will upend her new life before it even starts.
