The Pale: Camp Flicker-Wick

A chilling campfire horror for fans of Stranger Things, Goosebumps, and The Owl House.

Every summer, the Little Embers return to Camp Flicker-Wick—deep in the woods, nestled beneath the looming shadow of Ember Peak. It's a place of stories and songs, of hiking trails and whispered ghost tales around the fire.

But this year... something is different.

When campers Mike, Amber, and Tommy begin hearing rhythmic tapping outside their cabin and spot strange lights drifting through the trees, they think it's just a prank—until the dreams start. Dreams of a towering, faceless creature with daggered claws and a mask-like, owl-white face. Dreams that feel too real.

The Pale is more than a legend. It's watching. It moves with the moonlight. And it knows their fears.

As the campers race to uncover the truth behind the eerie sightings and a dark mural hidden in a cavern, they must confront the growing terror stalking them—and what lies buried beneath Camp Flicker-Wick.

Some stories are just campfire tales. Others never stop watching.

Perfect for readers who love eerie forests, dream-haunting monsters, and unforgettable friendships in the face of fear.

The Golden Box

By Cassie A. Hunter Macedo

Unlocking the Past, One Treasure at a Time: Inside The Golden Box by Cassie A. Hunter Macedo

In Cassie A. Hunter Macedo’s nostalgic and heartwarming debut novel, The Golden Box, readers are transported to 1945 Kalamazoo, Michigan—a town where the leaves fall like golden confetti, and childhood is filled with wide-eyed wonder. Against this charming backdrop unfolds the story of five unforgettable kids: Bobby, Jason, Jody, Sarah, and the newest member of their tight-knit group, Adam.

What starts as a simple game—collecting found objects in a cardboard box—soon becomes something far more meaningful. From a pocket watch to a broken necklace, each item they discover seems to whisper of a past life. With each new trinket placed inside what they come to call “The Golden Box,” the kids begin to sense that their treasures may hold secrets—engraved initials, hidden compartments, even pieces of untold history that connect them in ways they never expected.

But this isn’t just a mystery story. It’s a journey through growing up—navigating schoolyard bullies, budding friendships, family complexities, and the quiet strength it takes to be different. Adam’s arrival into the group brings new questions, new dynamics, and a fresh reminder of what it means to belong. Meanwhile, Bobby’s struggle with learning challenges adds a layer of emotional depth that many readers—young and old—will relate to.

"A charming tale of friendship, adventure, and the hidden treasures that shape who we become."

- Greg P.

Macedo’s vivid storytelling style immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and feelings of postwar small-town America. The characters are not just believable—they’re lovable. The kids are clever, loyal, and curious, and the story invites readers to view the world through their hopeful eyes.

The Golden Box is a coming-of-age tale brimming with warmth, mystery, and meaning. Perfect for fans of stories like Bridge to Terabithia, Stand by Me, or The Goonies, this novel celebrates friendship, resilience, and the little discoveries that can change everything. At its core, it’s a reminder that sometimes the real treasures are the people beside us—and the memories we make along the way.

Passion this dark was never meant to be touched.

But some women were born to burn.
