YAAtlas of Cursed Places series.
In each tame horror story set in a haunted locale--a lighthouse (Tower), cave (Breakdown), and mountaintop (Anchor)--the protagonist finds clues to lifting the site's curse in the mysterious Atlas of Cursed Places. Breakdown is less conclusive than the others, as the curse is never explained or resolved. This hi-lo series is harmless but inessential. There are three other fall 2016 books in this series. Review covers the following Atlas of Cursed Places titles: Skeleton Tower, Breakdown, and Deadman Anchor.
