- Book Synopsis
- Based on the hit streaming horror franchise Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Sinister Sisters and Other Terrifying Tales is the second in an all-new horror graphic novel series. The Sinister Sisters features three chilling stories based on Ghanaian urban legends and folktales written by New York Times bestselling author Roseanne A. Brown and spookily brought to life by artists Shazleen Khan, Bill Masuku, and Gigi Murakami. Izzy's sister has been acting strange. Izzy knows that something is going on with her twin, Grace. Grace is hurrying off to be with other kids, avoiding her at school, and going to bed earlier than usual. When Izzy learns that her twin sister has been sneaking off at night to hang out with the mysterious Midnight Society, she surprises them at their night of storytelling and threatens to tell their parents about Grace's new hobby. In order to prevent Izzy from telling on her, the Midnight Society proposes a scare-off! If Izzy wins, Grace is booted from the Midnight Society. If Grace wins, Izzy won't tell anyone about the Midnight Society. What follows are three terrifying tales that may determine the fate of not only the Midnight Society, but also the twins' relationship. In "The Tale of the Bushwalkers," a girl who cheats in school discovers that monsters may be prowling her campus, ready to eat cheating students. In "The Tale of the Spirit Drum," a young boy tests his luck when he comes into possession of a drum that can make his dreams come true. And in "The Tale of the Sinister Sisters," two twins must survive the night by themselves as malignant spirits take their form to pit the twins agains each other. Drawing from urban legends, folklores, and stories rooted from Ghana, New York Times bestselling author Roseanne A. Brown crafts all-new stories inspired by the hit television series.
