When students start to meet mysterious and gruesome deaths, Sam realizes just how fast the clock is ticking.<br> <br>    After joining forces with plucky, epilepsy-defying school reporter Harriet, Sam ventures into increasingly dark territory, unravelling a supernatural mystery that will upend everything he thinks he knows about this school—and then shatter his own reality.<br> <br>    Toss <i>Dracula </i>into a blender, throw in a shot of hard-boiled detective fiction, splash in a couple drops of <i>Stranger Things, </i>and pour yourself a nice tall glass of <i>Friend of the Devil. </i><br>
