Coming in 2026
Welcome to Ferndale, California, a town that looks like it stepped out of a postcard… until night falls.
Behind the quaint storefronts and picture-perfect Victorian homes, something darker stirs. A little girl’s ghost wanders the old cemetery clutching her doll. A long-dead deputy still patrols the corner of Ocean and Main. A haunted school locker won’t stay shut, and the photograph in an antique camera might be watching you.
In this terrifying and atmospheric collection of ghost stories, author Tom Campbell takes readers deep into one of California’s most beautiful, and unsettling, towns. Inspired by Ferndale’s real history, hidden corners, and unshakable sense of mystery, these stories blend small-town charm with truly chilling encounters.
Inside these pages, you’ll find:
- A trio of friends who sneak into the cemetery at midnight, only to realize they’re not alone.
- A boy whose fall from a bicycle lands him face-to-face with a ghostly family still searching for a vanished inn.
- A pair of siblings who discover their family bakery isn’t just full of warm memories, but of visitors from another century.
- A vintage camera that captures not just moments… but souls.
Each tale will leave you questioning what’s real, what’s imagined, and whether some spirits ever truly rest.
Perfect for readers ages 10 to forever, and those who love a shiver down their spine, Midnight in Ferndale delivers suspense, emotion, and just enough humor to keep you turning the page while checking over your shoulder.
Whether you’ve been to Ferndale or are discovering it for the first time, beware: the past never really let’s go. The ghosts are still here. And they’ve been waiting…. For you.
