The next chapter of legendary horror author R.L. Stine and acclaimed illustrator Carola Borelli’s coming-of-age teen thriller is here in THE GRAVEYARD CLUB: FRESH BLOOD!
The members of the Graveyard Club attempt to move on from the disturbing events of last semester but the strange disappearances of Parker and Rhonda’s fathers is too big of a mystery to ignore. A return to the scene of the crime may be just what they need to discover the terrifying truth of that night…but can they survive their investigation long enough to uncover the lurking darkness within?
“Darker and darker,” said author and series creator R.L. Stine. “The town has so many dark secrets to reveal, I wondered if any of my teen characters would survive! I love mixing normal teen life with the supernatural. I hope readers will be drawn into the dark mysteries and surprises.”
“Returning to Graves End was a bit like coming home,” said series artist Carola Borelli. “I enjoyed the whole trip, accompanying Parker and his friends in this new adventure full of mystery and suspense. Explaining what this second volume is, is impossible, you could only read it and live it, like the members of the Graveyard Club”

It is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
