Seven Secret Stories
(2023)(A book in the Skeleton Creek series)
A collection of stories by Patrick Carman
Read the stories, watch the videos, and always keep one eye open. Welcome to the first collection of Skeleton Creek short stories, complete with video endings that will scare the daylights out of you.
Skeleton Creek series main character Ryan McCray has gone into hiding. But someone has found him, a mysterious person who calls themselves SEVEN. And SEVEN has sent Ryan something terrifying.
Seven Secret Stories.
That’s right. Seven terrible things that happened to seven people just like you.
And you want to know what’s even worse?
They all included video footage of what happened to them.
Was it Sarah Fincher, Ryan’s video making friend from Skeleton Creek, who made the videos and found the stories? It’s just the sort of thing she would do. But if Sarah isn’t SEVEN, then who is?
After reading the stories and watching the videos, Ryan is convinced of three important things:
1. He will never sleep without having nightmares again.
2. There are ghosts and goblins and monsters out there he knew nothing about.
3. The videos were all made by the same person to reenact the endings of the stories they found.
Ryan can’t be the only one who carries these stories around in his head. He needs to know other people have heard and seen them. He needs to know he’s not alone. Ryan is going to share all seven secret stories with you. It’s up to you whether or not you read and watch them, but he will give you a warning: you can’t unhear what you have heard or unsee what you’ve seen. Once you consume these stories, they will try to eat you alive. They’ll dig into your brain and root around in there and you’ll wake, like Ryan, at midnight.
And you will know.
You will know about a mysterious box that should never have been opened.
You’ll know about a strange device called a Spin Ruler, and the terrible trouble it caused.
You’re going to climb up on the roof of a house, because something is up there.
As weird as this sounds, you’ll encounter a frying pan phantom. It’s scarier than you’d think.
You’re going to be introduced to the oldest door in the world, and the terrifying thing that waits behind it.
You will feed a monster you should not have fed.
And unfortunately for you, you’ll discover a creature that howls at midnight.
By the time you realize you should not have picked up this book, it will be too late.
You’ll be just like Ryan.
At least then he won’t be alone.
