The Voice in the Closet

Calling all fans of Goosebumps and The Baby-Sitters Club! The first book in the Spite Lane Hauntings series sends 13-year-old Mabel Mandal to Spite Lane where getting paid to babysit isn’t worth much if she can’t make it out alive! Are you ready to follow her to the scariest babysitting job ever?

13-year-old Mabel Mandal is just dying to go to Torture Town, Lost Key’s premier haunted house attraction, but the tickets are expensive, and the rules say she’s too young. Mabel doesn’t care what she has to do to make it happen, and she plans to take her friends Asher, Suki, and Fernanda with her.

When Mabel receives a very lucrative offer to babysit on Spite Lane, she says yes — even though the Victorian homes on Spite Lane are all rumored to be haunted, terrorized by a demonic entity that tortures the inhabitants in unique and violent ways. Her friends think she’s crazy to accept the job offer, but Mabel figures it can’t be that bad.

After all, Mabel has handled difficult children before. But is she ready to face the evil entity that has turned 6-year-old Twyla’s home into a house of horrors that puts even Torture Town to shame?

The Voice in the Closet is the first book in the Spite Lane series. Read the entire, suspenseful, coming-of-age saga and enjoy a diverse cast of characters, unbreakable childhood friendships, a slowly unraveling cozy mystery, and a surprising amount of heart!
