BIG REVEAL! Book Cover Art

Yes, there’s a creepy clock that plays a role in the story!

The Brothers Washburn, whose excellent YA horror novel PITCH GREEN scared the heck out of me last year, have a new entry coming out in the campfire story chill-inducement genre: MOJAVE GREEN.

I don’t know much about the plot of this little baby, but I do know Pitch Green told the story of a creepy creature that ate children and lived in a “haunted” house in a small Mojave Desert town. I fell in love with the two teenage protagonists, one of whom lost a sibling to the hungry beast on a Halloween night long ago. I can only imagine what they will do next as they battle it—and its “keepers,” who are almost as scary as the beast itself. Okay, maybe even more intimidating, because at least the worst thing the beast can do is eat you.

Here’s Berk on the left, Andy in green on the right. These guys, in my opinion, are the kings of the campfire ghost story.

And, drumroll please…. The cover of MOJAVE GREEN.

We’ll be seeing and reading a sniveling over this book later this year over at Chez Griffith.
