Description
From the creator of My Life As a Teenage Robot comes the second story in a middle-grade horror series about a horrible bag, the spine-chilling world hidden within it, and a terrifying adventure into the world of GrahBhag.
Perfect for fans of Coraline, the Spiderwick Chronicles, and Small Spaces.
Zenith Maelstrom knows he's forgetting something...
But he can't quite remember what. He wakes up to notes in his handwriting with messages like, "Prepare for battle!" - but what battle? - and his sister Apogee seems to grow angrier with him by the day. It's not until he finds Apogee sneaking back into the horrible bag hidden away in their basement that all the dreadful details about GrahBhag resurface. The spiderlike Shlurps. The trio of foul mouths that hunger for blood. Eldritch horrors around every corner.
Desperate to save Apogee from her ill-planned attempt to right the wrongs of their last trip into the bag, Zenith is forced to follow her into the bizarre world that has certainly not forgotten them. Between old foes set on vengeance like Raggedy Albert and terrifying new ones like the haunting Wraith, Zenith will have to put things right with his sister without falling into the clutches of those who would do him harm. For if he is caught, Eternity Tower awaits...
With a combination of dry, absurdist humor and no-holds-barred horror, Rob Renzetti has crafted a delightfully imaginative fantasy world that will hook readers as surely as it will send chills down their spines.

Reviews
"Renzetti's imaginative world and its creatures are delightfully dark and twisted... A well-paced follow-up full of deliciously nightmarish creatures and scenes."-Kirkus
Praise for The Horrible Bag of Terrible Things:
"This book is Terrible, Horrible, and a fiendish delight. Rob Renzetti will send a shiver down your spine and give you a phobia of bags that you never will recover from. Open at your own dismay!"-Alex Hirsch, New York Times best-selling author and creator of Gravity Falls
"Exhilarating, spooky, and reminiscent of Through the Looking Glass-if everyone and everything in Wonderland was trying to kill Alice."-Shelf Awareness, starred review
