Description

"Picture Unavailable is a supernatural thriller sure to give you goosebumps. If you like Stranger Things, you’ll love Andrew J Brandt's latest!”

— Katherine St. John, author of Vicious Circle

While looking through their sixth-grade yearbooks, Charlie Greene and his two best friends discover the portrait of their missing classmate has been left blank except for two words: Picture Unavailable.

Though Johnny Howardwick vanished mysteriously, Charlie and company know he was at Westfield Middle School for picture day. Things get stranger when they realize Johnny’s image has been purged from the entire yearbook.

The boys set out to uncover the truth and jump-start their Serial-style podcast. Their first stop is the yearbook teacher, Mr. Cotter, who knows much more than he claims. But the more they investigate, the more Charlie learns that Johnny’s disappearance is far from an isolated incident.

The question soon becomes: Can Charlie uncover the Tennessee town’s dark secret in time to avoid becoming its next victim.

Advance Praise

“ A smalltown mystery that preys on our universal fear of the unknown-and sinks its teeth in. Andrew Brandt’s Picture Unavailable is a hair-raising ride down memory lane, riddled with nostalgia and supernatural elements. If you love Stranger Things, give this a read.”

-Hannah Morrissey author of the Widowmaker: a Novel
