Description
Be careful what you wish for… It just might come true!
New kid Aiden isn’t exactly thrilled about his family’s big move, but he finds a little bit of comfort when he wanders into the woods and discovers a hidden well. Whenever he visits the well, he feels like he can truly be himself. It’s a safe place where he can complain about his three school bullies and not feel alone. That is until the well starts taking revenge on behalf of an unsuspecting Aiden. Once Aiden figures out that the well and its ghoulish inhabitant might be behind all the disasters happening around town, Aiden decides it’s up to him, with the help of a surprising ally, to stop the flood of chaos.

Aiden, a young boy, comes across an abandoned well that seems to grant his every wish, but these wishes come at a frightening price. A perfectly frightening story with plenty of frights to keep you turning the page for more. Plenty of scares with amazing illustrations that help the story come right off the page. Perfect for young audiences this Halloween season. All in all, a worthy entry into the Creepers series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
Creepers: The Wishing Well by Edgar J. Hyde is a spooky, fast-paced read that’s perfect for middle grade horror fans. The story takes a simple idea—a mysterious wishing well—and twists it into something dark, creepy, and exciting. The eerie atmosphere kept me hooked, and I loved how the suspense built up with each chapter.
While I wished for just a little more depth with the characters, the scares and tension more than made up for it. This is the kind of book that makes you want to check over your shoulder at night, and it’s a great pick for readers who enjoy chilling tales with a fun, adventurous vibe.
