Scare Scape II aka "Scare Scape: The Midnight Door" by UK author Sam Fisher (ISFDB) is the 2nd in his eponymous series of kids/YA spooky sfnal urban fantasy adventure tales set in a modern-day strange town (akin to Eureka, or given the target audience's age, probably closer to Eerie, Indiana, I suppose) where the Clay family have just moved into a Gothic-flavoured creepy Victorian mansion and are discovering just how weird the neighbourhood can get with advanced tech and age-old monsters, free courtesy of publisher Scholastic.

Currently free to pre-order @ Amazon & Google Play (both available to Canadians, slated for March 31st).

Description
More monsters. More magic. More sibling rivalry!

Return to Dimvale, the darkest town in America, in the sequel to the "imaginative, not-too-dark urban fantasy" (Kirkus Reviews) with "high appeal for kids . . . who are fascinated with the creepy and the weird" (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books).

When the town is overrun with two-headed mutant rats, Morton Clay knows that magic is to blame. And when his classmates get their hands on impossible gadgets like X-ray specs and anti-gravity lasers, he realizes the trouble is just beginning.

Morton and his siblings, James and Melissa, are the only ones who can stop the chaos. But should they, if it means eliminating magic from the world? As Morton begins to fight magic with magic, he's not so sure. . . .

Includes a fully illustrated Monster Hunter's Guidebook!
