Shriek School

Shriek School: The Slime Pit
Book One of the Goreway Middle Series
By R. Hexley Night

Class is in session... and the nightmares just transferred in.

Goreway Middle School has always felt a little off-too quiet, too clean, too watchful. But when seventh-grader Danny Keyes and his best friend Layla Stone get stuck with after-school detention, they uncover a secret hidden beneath the school's foundation: a living, breathing maze of slime, screens, and something that watches from the dark.

This isn't detention. It's a test.

And failing means more than a bad grade.

The further Danny and Layla descend, the more they realize the school isn't just punishing bad behavior-it's rewriting it. Students who once spoke out now smile blankly. Hallways rearrange. Teachers don't blink. And at the heart of it all is a pulsing, intelligent slime determined to make everyone the same.

But Danny and Layla don't fit in-and they never have.

With time running out, they'll have to outsmart the system, uncover its secrets, and make it out alive... or become part of the curriculum forever.

The Slime Pit is a spine-tingling, fast-paced horror adventure that marks the beginning of the Shriek School series-where the school is alive, the rules are rigged, and survival is extra credit.
