Don't go near the house, whatever you do. It wants the lonely, the lost, the vulnerable. It wants you.

Tanya keeps having bad dreams about the old stone house around the corner from Coal Hill School—and a girl trapped there, screaming and terrified. When Tanya and her friends go to investigate the strange house covered in cobwebs, they stumble onto their own worst nightmares come to life. But there is a presence haunting the house that is even more powerful than their individual horrors. A presence that may not want to let them go...

In spite of the danger, Tanya is determined to free the mysterious girl in the house. But they are running out of time—the house is scheduled for demolition. With the help of their teacher Miss Quill, Tanya and three other kids prepare to fight their nightmares, and whatever other monsters they hear scuttling around in the walls. But how can they fight against monsters that are supposed to exist only in their dreams?

• Sentient Nightmares: Step into a house where every fear becomes a real-life monster. Tanya and her friends must battle horrors pulled from their own minds—nightmares that can think, hunt, and kill.
• Aliens on Earth: From the universe of Doctor Who, this stand-alone adventure introduces a terrifying alien creature and a threat that even the formidable Miss Quill might not be able to handle.
• Found Family: Four students from Coal Hill School, plus their sharp-tongued teacher, must rely on each other to survive. They came to investigate a mystery, but they might just find a family in the darkness.
• Trapped in a House: The doors are locked, the windows are barred, and the house itself doesn’t want them to leave. With demolition crews on the way, their prison is also a ticking clock.
