Reaching for her dream, Limpy unleashes a cute, fluffy, nightmare ...

Keep in a cold, dark place. That's what's written like some ancient law on every bag of potatoes the family farms. And it's where Limpy fears she will always remain. It's also carved on a box of spheres she discovers in the cellar. Spheres that hatch. Cute at first, the creatures begin to grow. Then the chickens disappear. The cat is hunted. And something sets the barn ablaze.

To survive, Limpy will need to face her greatest fear. The whole family will. Or they may end up in a cold, dark place indeed.

Industry Reviews

"With its tyrannical parents, moronic siblings, goofy monsters, and dark humor, the book summons the works of middle-grade master Roald Dahl. Young readers interested in less cuddly fare should enjoy this offbeat story of curses, creatures, and lessons on finding satisfaction in one's place in the world.

A darkly funny rural tale with a scary bent." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Keep in a Cold, Dark Place is horror genre writing at its best, going the extra mile beyond the circumstances of horror to probe the psyches, motivations, and lessons learned by all involved. It's very highly recommended for young readers who will relish Michael F. Stewart's close attention to detail and atmosphere." D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
