A middle grade horror series by C L Allen
Dreadtime
Books you probably should not read after midnight.
Every Dreadtime book is a complete nightmare: a new cast, a new place, and something strange waiting for the wrong kid to find it. Start anywhere. Just keep an eye on the clock.
Midnight warning
Every Dreadtime story is different. None of them are safe.
Welcome to Dreadtime
One series. A different nightmare every time.
Every book is its own world with its own danger. Dreadtime keeps changing shape.
Dreadtime is a series of middle grade horror novels about ordinary kids who make one mistake, open one door, press one button, or trust one thing they should not.
Each book drops a new set of characters into a new kind of trouble. The stories move fast, mix real fear with moments of humor, and pile on mysteries that get stranger every time the characters think they understand them.
The covers change. The kids change. The thing waiting in the dark changes. What stays the same is the feeling that something has gone very wrong, and the clock is already running.
- Standalone Every book is a complete story with its own ending.
- Any Order Pick whichever nightmare looks best. No homework required.
- New Cast Different kids, different places, different danger each time.
