Where Middle School Meets Monsters.

SCAREMOOR is a creepy, cinematic book series for readers ages 8–12+ (and fearless 7s, too). Every story is a standalone scare—a haunted locker, a phantom playground, a whispering mirror—with suspense that keeps them turning pages and twists they won’t see coming.

You never forget your first ghost story. Scaremoor makes sure of that.

What Customers Are Saying

From real Amazon reviews of the Scaremoor books by parents, teachers, and readers.

I got The Haunted Locker for my daughter, and as soon as it arrived, her eyes lit up! … It’s been a while since I’ve seen her this excited about a book.
RobertVerified Amazon purchase · The Haunted Locker
This tale is scary but not too scary and has dark underground secrets. I enjoyed it and so did my granddaughters.
Nancy BVerified Amazon purchase · The Night of the Living Vines
I would definitely read this aloud to my classroom in October. It's spooky, but not too spooky.
Jodi S.Amazon review · The Phantom Playground
If your child enjoys scary books, I highly recommend this one. It is well written and fast paced.
AmziVerified Amazon purchase · The Changing Portrait
The tension is built through mood, setting, and psychological unease rather than graphic content, making it more about feeling unsettled than being shocked.
Evelyn MVerified Amazon purchase · The Mask Room
I picked this book as a halloween read and it was a hit! We read it for class in homeschool as a halloween activity and we couldn't wait to find out what would happen to Ben and Mia next.
February J.Verified Amazon purchase · The Haunted Locker
My 11 year old devoured this book in 2 days.
Cameron P.Verified Amazon purchase · The Phantom Playground
This was a really enjoyable read, not just for the middle grade and young teen target audience, but for adults who enjoyed creepy children’s tales growing up and are looking for a bit of nostalgic reading.
Busy BeeVerified Amazon purchase · The Vanishing Words
