Product Description
"Are you afraid of the dead?" her grandfather asked.
Sarah Asmundson will discover the answer to that question. She is prepared for her grandfather's scary stories, but is anything but prepared when events from the story about a draugr--a man who comes back from the dead--begin to happen around her. A tale to frighten and entertain the young and the young at heart. The first book in the Northern Frights series.
"Draugr is guaranteed to scare from the first sentence: 'Grandpa was going to murder us,' and the suspense doesn't end until the last page." -- From Independent Publisher
"This story is wonderfully written, like ghost stories told around the campfire, but with a depth of details and great characters. The readers find themselves wrapped in a talk at once both exciting and addictive. You will not be able to put the book down." -- From Book Reviews and More
"Draugr is a higher class example of the horror genre that has so grabbed the present generation of young readers. And the bits of Norse mythology that are included are fascinating!" -- CM Magazine
