Finally, I can announce this new book…
Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall by Jendia Gammon
I am thrilled to announce this news, which as been very hard to keep secret for months: you get a Choose Your Own Adventure book from me! DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL publishes Spring 2026 via Chooseco, publisher of the Choose Your Own Adventure books!
A Dark Fantasy and Horror Adventure for Middle Grade to Infinity!
DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL is a middle grade (as in tween) level book, based on the structure of the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books. These are game books, in which you make choices as a reader and flip to different parts of the book to see what happens!
What’s this book about? Young explorers seek out an abandoned 80s mall, unaware of the perils within: a warlock from another dimension dwells in its basement, wreaking havoc and evil spirits upon anyone who ventures there!
This book has very Amblin Entertainment 1980s vibes, and with some dashes of Stranger Things, Nancy Drew, and even Twin Peaks thrown in, it promises to be a fun and spooky read!
More Book Details
DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL publishes worldwide in Spring 2026! You’ll be able to get it everywhere.
There will be much more to share later this year, so stay tuned! I can’t wait to share this fun book with the world!
