Here was an obvious super-fan, totally onboard with the idea that his favorite place in the world was manipulating death itself to. Not because of the illogical things he was saying, but because he smiled the whole time. He explained this to me in detail, and I was troubled. Because, you know, that’s a reasonable, non-ghoulish business decision. He was referring to a (debunked) urban legend about the company striking a deal with local authorities to ensure anyone who met a grim fate was transported off-property before receiving an official time of death so not to be a downer to other vacationers. My seat mate-a Midwest kid wearing a lanyard heavy with collectible pins of the various cartoon characters who were now, technically, our co-workers-leaned toward me and said, “You know, no one ever dies here.” My first day on property I took a bus to the amusement park I’d spend the next five months helping maintain. Many years ago, I lived and worked at a vacation resort in Florida, a well-known place where mice aren’t considered a problem and you’d swear there was magic in the air. But what’s more dangerous: the monster you know in your home or the unknown nightmare outside the walls? Yet Karloff Country didn’t count on Jay and his crew-and just how far they’ll go to find out the truth and save themselves. And in order to deliver the top-notch customer service the wealthy clientele paid for, the employees will be at their total beck and call.
Unknown to the employees, the resort has been selling shares in an end-of-the-world oasis. Then the richest and most powerful families start arriving, only. First, Jay’s friend Connie and her family disappear in the middle of the night and no one will talk about it. Life isn’t so great for the rest of the world, but when people come here to vacation, it’s to get away from all that.Īs things outside get worse, trouble starts seeping into Karloff. He’s got his family, his crew, and an incredible after-school job at the property’s main theme park. Jay is living his best life at Karloff Country, one of the world’s most famous resorts. The book will be released on Septemby Scholastic Press. Today we’re thrilled to reveal the cover for The Getawayby Lamar Giles! The cover was designed by Maeve Norton.
