Hugh Radium lives in a small spooky town perched atop a high hill. The surrounding fields and woods boast twenty-four cemeteries, the ruins of a stately mansion, where it is rumored strange untoward gatherings were once held, and a tiny, one-room post office whose operating hours seem to be any time Hugh’s not attempting to mail something. Mr. Radium insists his debut novel LESTER OF TWO EVILS, is a work of pure fiction. However, local residents were unavailable for comment on the validity of his claims, as none could be found.
The small square room, with its low ceiling, cinderblock walls, and lack of windows, felt like an old 1950’s atomic bomb shelter, which made perfect sense because it was.

Mae slid her finger down a column of symbols, stopping just above one that looked like an hourglass without a top.
“That’s it!” Lester said excitedly. “You found it!”
Chapter 30: Keep Your Friends Close
“That,” Noxumbra said, “or the other thing. If Ms. Poole is to be believed.”
Chapter 29: Mr. Noxumbra
“Mom?” Lester said, biting into a square of chocolate-covered caramel. “How come you never told me you knew Amanda’s Aunt?”

“But I don’t know how,” Lester called.
“Of course you do,” Mr. North said, his eyes already glowing red. “You always have.”

“I’m sorry we’re late,” puffed Amanda. “Why is your father sitting on Thomas? And what’s happened to Bernard?”

“You’re right to be scared,” Lester said, keeping his distance but following along behind. “They are dangerous. But I’m not like them.”

Chapter 24: The Other Side
“I don’t understand,” said Lester.
“Do you know what hunts them, boy?”
Chapter 23: Halloween
“Mae,” Amanda said. “He means, what do we do if they see us?”
“Oh. I don’t know,” Mae replied. “I guess we’ll just have to be really sneaky.”
Chapter 22: The Pumpkin Festival
Reaching the door, Lester grabbed the knob and breathed a sigh of relief. But as he pulled it open, Mrs. Q called after him.
“One moment, Mr. North. I can’t let you leave just yet.”
Chapter 21: Mrs. Q
“Are you forgetting we live in Giles Hollow?” said Amanda. “Suspicious activity is kind of this town’s thing.”

The Crowley School for Boys sat perched on the edge of a grassy cliff, high above an outcropping of jagged rocks standing like soldiers against the crashing waves of the ocean below.
Chapter 19: Brothers
“Lester?” his mother asked, her voice quiet. “Where were you really today?”
