The Dead of Night Benjamin Alioto

Ten-year-old Tori Chadler has always appeared to have a normal life. She has a loving family, likes to draw, goes to school, gets bullied mercilessly...a pretty normal life. After dusk, however, things quickly take a turn from reality to sheer insanity. For years now, Tori has been plagued by the mysterious twisted man known only as Mr. Boogs, converting her old, misshapen toys into horrifying beasts starved of fear. This terrifying game of cat and mouse has remained consistent and predictable, until now. Now, Tori must search for the truth buried deep within the delirium. The key to her survival through these rough times is shrouded by a terrifying secret that has haunted her mind since the beginning, a secret that binds together all of her classmates, twisted dolls, Mr. Boogs, and the unnerving voice within her head. Will Tori find a method to the madness and escape from this living nightmare? Or is she doomed to be forever trapped within the cycle of lunacy? The odds aren't looking too good.
