Dead Yard Series

by ,
(7 reviews)

The Dead Yard is a supernatural new horror series ideal for readers aged 9+. Budding film-maker Jermaine finds himself haunted by the spirit of his Uncle Carl after accidentally eating sacred food too early at a traditional Jamaican wake known as a Dead Yard. Now stuck with an opinionated ghost at his side, Jermaine also discovers that children in his neighbourhood are falling ill—and the symptoms seem eerily similar to the ghost stories passed down by his great-grandmother.

Mixing Caribbean folklore with mystery and humour, this series explores grief, family, and bravery through a culturally rich and fast-paced plot. A strong choice for upper primary or lower secondary readers who enjoy spooky stories with depth and heart and perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Dread Wood.
