Personal Sacrifice Victorian Era Eerie Atmosphere

Something wicked has come to Dogwood Street.

When Rex arrives in a crumbling Victorian at the end of a quiet street, the neighbors are curious. Soon, he transforms the house—and begins to draw his neighbors closer.

Rex offers what people want most: youth restored, dreams fulfilled, power gained. One by one, the residents are tempted, their deepest desires reflected back at them.

But a handful of children begin to see the truth. Every gift seems to come at a heavy cost, and on Halloween night, they must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to save their neighborhood.

Christopher Tuthill's THE KING OF DOGWOOD STREET is a modern, eerie tale of horror and mystery.
