About The Book
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bellwoods Game comes an eerie illustrated middle grade novel about a girl whose new friend and neighbor may have moved into a haunted house.
Some spirits never leave.
When a new family moves into the creepy old house across the street, sixth-grader Flora finds her wish for a best-best friend has come true. Her new neighbor Mac is sweet and charismatic. With Mac by her side, Flora feels like the upcoming school year will be a fresh start for her—no more anxious or klutzy Flora!
But despite their new friendship, not all is perfect. Mac fits in better with their classmates than Flora ever did. Mac’s family seems to be holding back a big secret, something about a mysterious ex-best friend named Daphne who Mac won’t ever talk about. And Mac’s little brother, Danny, gives Flora the creeps. Strange things keep happening whenever he’s around.
Is Flora’s mind playing tricks? Or could it be that Mac’s house is as haunted as it looks?

Raves and Reviews
JLG Gold Standard Selection
"Krampien blends emotional realism with a persistent sense of unease, building suspense without relying on overt horror. . . Black-and-white illustrations peppered throughout the text reinforce the creepy tone while offering brief visual pauses that temper the suspense. . . Strong characterizations and vivid descriptive passages sustain a quiet sense of dread. An atmospheric ghost story exploring friendship, courage, and hidden truths."
– Kirkus Reviews
"Krampien steadily ramps up the suspense, cultivating a palpable aura of dread as supernatural incidents—depicted in atmospheric, animated grayscale illustrations—escalate from inconvenient to downright dangerous. Threads of optimism, reinforced by Mac and Flora’s easy camaraderie, provide a resting spot throughout this tense adventure."
