The Doomsday Archives

A Junior Library Guild Selection An Indie Next List Pick ★ “Clark and Eliopulos expertly build heart-pounding suspense . . . The book champions accepting each other’s quirks and weirdness, which will resonate with anyone who’s struggled to fit in. A superb choice for fans of Jonathan Stroud’s Lockwood & Co. series, Tom Booth’s Eerie-on-Sea books, and creepypastas.” —Booklist, Starred Review “An engaging start to a promising new series. The wiki framing is clever [and] legitimately scary scenes resolve quickly, with resolutions driven by the kids’ strengths and actions.” ―Kirkus Reviews “This dark plot-driven adventure, sprinkled with insightful New Rotterdam wiki entries, winking humor, and heaps of horror sensibilities, is unsettlingly creepy.” ―Publishers Weekly “Zack Loran Clark and Nick Eliopulos have summoned the grinning ghost of author John Bellairs and updated him for a generation steeped in the eerie world of online urban legends. Here’s hoping you can all make it out of New Rotterdam alive!” ―Trevor Henderson, author of Scarewaves and creator of Siren Head “Enter The Doomsday Archives and discover a diabolical mix of menacing monsters, forbidden artifacts, and contemporary chills. This series is guaranteed to keep you up way past your bedtime. I want―no, need―the next installment!” ―K.R. Alexander, bestselling author of Gallowgate and The Collector “The Doomsday Archives should be marked with a bright red sticker that says, I DARE YOU TO READ THIS. It is the most delightfully frightening book for young people to come along in years! Absolutely brilliant.” ―Dan Poblocki, bestselling author of Tales to Keep You Up at Night
