When a blood moon rises, creatures from folklore awaken across the world and twelve kids must confront the monsters of their nightmares before it’s too late.

When the blood moon rises, the monsters come out and twelve kids must face what lurks in the dark.

An African American boy desperate for the year’s hottest shoes uncovers a terrifying extraterrestrial truth. A Trinidadian girl watches in horror as her grandmother sheds her skin and becomes a fiery Caribbean vampire. A Hawaiian boy discovers a mysterious shell on the beach that comes with a horrible price. A Japanese yōkai girl sets out to claim her first human soul until she realizes she may be the prey.

Smith, and Susan Tan.
