In the quaint German town of Fels, Halloween takes a dark turn for eleven-year-old Jo when her annoying older brother, Hektor, goes missing. Jo suspects he’s playing a prank, but then both her father and grandma forget Hektor’s name, and his stuff mysteriously disappears from his room.
With the adults of no help whatsoever, Jo starts her own investigation and uncovers a gruesome legend: A monster lives in the rye fields and it has been preying on the children of Fels for centuries, ensnaring them into its world under the roots. Now Jo will have two days until the gates between worlds closes on Halloween night.
Armed with a trusty turnip lantern, and her brother’s obnoxious best friend as her only ally, can Jo outsmart the ancient monster, or will the rye fields claim even more innocent victims?
Join Jo an experience a spine-chilling adventure that combines the darkness of German folklore with the magic of spooky season.

Susanne Schmidt loves to explore new worlds. An avid traveler, she grew up in Germany, but has also lived in New Zealand, Spain, and the US, where she earned a B.A. in Journalism from Saint Louis University. As a storyteller, she likes to experiment, often melding together darker horror themes and modern elements with traditional fantasy settings.
When she isn’t typing up a storm (or a world-eating monster), she can usually be found gardening or hanging out with her guinea pigs.
