A summer game with unsettling rules

The Darkive frames the series through a database of firsthand reports about ghosts, paranormal entities, and unexplained anomalies, each paired with evidence. In this first installment, Adam’s camping trip with his friend Sol takes an unexpected turn when the pair reach an abandoned town and are drawn into a game of hide-and-seek. Their existing disagreement adds a personal complication to a setup built around uncertain rules and an unknown pursuer. The book brings together a strange-place mystery and middle-grade horror, while introducing the wider archive that links the series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in horror and paranormal mysteries.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on unexplained phenomena and evidence.

The first title in a brand new middle-grade horror series by the award-winning author Christopher Edge.


Nobody knows who started the Darkive. It's a database filled with first-hand accounts of strange, unexplained experiences. Ghosts; paranormal entities; weird anomalies. Each one is stored with a bank of evidence to prove the story. Are you ready to dive in?

Adam didn't think his summer holiday could get any worse. His camping trip with his best friend, Sol, seems to be doomed. They've been arguing, and now they find themselves in a strange, abandoned town, where they are told to take part in a game of hide-and-seek. But the rules are hard to follow. And who, or what, are they hiding from?
