Years later, he still haunts her nightmares--a tall, thin man with red eyes, in a haunted house in the woods, who devours human souls and leaves their eyes hollow and empty. Penny's beloved grandma tells her to write down these nightmares as poems in her notebook. But then Penny starts seeing blank-eyed people in the waking world, too. She's the only one who notices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs more people around her fall prey to the Fear Maker, Penny must gather her courage once and for all to save the souls of those she loves.
