ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Karen Chilton is terrible at math. She was warned that this would
be the case, as she spent most math classes from seventh
grade forward hiding out at the back of the classroom,
scribbling fiction. If a train leaves Boston at 10 a.m. traveling west
at 100 mph and another train leaves Chicago at 11 a.m. traveling
east at 80 mph, at what point will their paths cross?
Karen sometimes wishes she knew. She cautions young writers
to PAY ATTENTION in all their classes. It's amazing the amount
of seemingly stupid stuff one needs to know later in life.
Karen lives in Rhode Island with her son Ryan, her best friend Andrew,
a cat named Godzilla, two guinea pigs, two hermit crabs and a goldfish.
She still scribbles fiction constantly, and she is grateful that
cell phones come with calculators.

More about
The Haunting on Devil's Den Road:
Paige Parker can't wait to turn fourteen. Thirteen is definitely not her lucky number. Since her thirteenth birthday, her life has become a nightmare. Uprooted from her lifelong home in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, she's now living in a run-down farmhouse in the rural village of Heather Hollow, afraid she'll die of boredom.
Paige soon finds boredom is the least of her worries as she realizes there's already someone in residence in her new home: a ghost girl who died more than a century ago! The ghost seems to have a connection to Mercy Brown, the infamous vampire buried in a local cemetery.
Paige enlists the help of her friend Amelia to try to sort out all the bizarre aspects of life in Heather Hollow: there's a clique of mean girls on mopeds, a goth girl with an interest in historic cemeteries, a cute boy with an uncle ostracized for his study of time travel, and an ancient librarian protecting a secret.
There's also the Something that is lurking in the woods nearby. Something not quite human, but not quite animal, either. Something hungry?able to hunt through time?unstoppable even by death.
Can Paige uncover the truth about her strange new home in time to save herself from a terrible fate? Or will she become another casualty of the evil that lurks in Heather Hollow, Rhode Island?

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Gary McCluskey likes to draw pictures. Gary also likes to read books. So drawing pictures FOR books is about
the coolest thing he can think of. Once, in the fourth grade, he turned in a book report in the form of a comic book.
He got an A on it and ever since has tried to add artwork to almost everything he does. More than once, he has
made a giant ant head to wear as a Halloween costume. He probably will do it again. He lives in
Providence, Rhode Island with his wife Sue and two cats named Goldie Fox-Bunny and Shady Aloisius Bear.
