About this eBook

There’s a stalker on the loose at the mall—and there’s no safe place to hide
  Working at the mall is supposed to be fun. Trish’s job at Muffin-Mania is hardly intellectually challenging and her boss is a piece of work, but it’s worth it to have a job in the same building as her two best friends, the Hanson twins. And the hot guys who hang out there are an added bonus. But something isn’t right about this mall. It’s the oldest mall in the state, remodeled over a dozen times without rhyme or reason, and there are many strange nooks and secret passages behind the bright gleaming storefronts. Someone has been stealing housewares, furniture, and food, and now a mysterious man with ash-gray hair and a whisper-soft voice has started harassing Trish on the phone. He knows her secrets, and he has dark plans for her. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Richie Tankersley Cusick including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Ratings and reviews

Ohh,mannn. I've read that paperback book like so many times; that I've lost count. It all starts simmering slowly with a taste of suspense,a dash of profound tingling terror,,apphension,and me not being a nervous wreck! Anyway...the story starts out like with any other suspense. Trish starts working at a job called the Muffin Mania. At the Mall. Then weird things happen in the shadows of the night. The undercover detective named Storm Reynolds unwillingly,has had a crush on her the moment one of the Hansen fraternity twins notices him,but not Trish. Then unbelievably strange things start happening with one of Trish's co-workers. Then things from a department store start disappearing. Then whispered unknown threats start commencing. Nita and Imogene. A mysterious security guard. A delivery employee. An old man in disguise... A mannequin... By a unknown madman hidden in the shadows in the catacombs of the interior of the mall... who's waiting for her. To be his forevermore.

Classic novel I've loved since the teacher read it to us in Primary School when it first came out in the 90s. Shame it doesn't have an audio book version though. Don't understand why anyone would buy a book if it's not their cup of tea, or downrate it based solely on that since their preference has nothing to do with the quality of the book.

Its a ok book not my taste really tho

About the author

DIVDIVFor three decades, Richie Tankersley Cusick (b. 1952) has been one of the most prominent authors of horror fiction for young adults. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana—home to some of the country’s most ancient ghosts—Cusick grew up in a small bayou town called Barataria. Inspired by the eerie Louisiana swampland, she began writing at a young age. After college, Cusick took a job at Hallmark and moved to a haunted house in Kansas City, where she began work on her first novel, Evil on the Bayou, whose success allowed her to leave her job and begin writing fulltime. Since then, Cusick has written more than two dozen novels. She and her three dogs live in North Carolina, where Cusick writes on an antique roll-top desk that was once owned by a funeral director. The desk is, of course, haunted./div/div
