About DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL
DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL is a brand new Choose Your Own Adventure® book by me, publishing via Chooseco LLC on April 21, 2026, and distributed by Penguin Random House.
The official jacket text description:
Delve into the gnarly guts of a long-dead mall in this gloriously weird and whacked-out romp, where friendship, 80s music, and food court slushies are your weapons of choice against spandexed supernatural creeps.
Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–are back and as much fun as you remember. Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.
In the late 80s, a toxic spill rendered your local mall too hazardous to occupy—or at least, that’s what your parents told you. In reality, the spill was the work of Vaaldrant, a warlock from another dimension who’s been transforming mall employees into horrifying supernatural creatures ever since. You and your friends decide to film a video for your vlog channel, but when you meet up at the entrance, you find that your friend Drea is missing! Will you delve into the depths of the mall to rescue Drea from Vaaldrant? Or will his team of mutant mall workers get you first?
With all the gooey gross-out chaos of a classic Nickelodeon game show and the high-stakes magical mayhem of a first-class Dungeons and Dragons game, this poltergeist-packed page-turner will keep readers coming back again and again until they’ve found every good – or gristly – end!!
About DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL Cover Art
This was an extremely fun project from start to finish, and cover artist Elena Dall’Aglio absolutely nailed the vibe of the adventures of this trio of explorers as they work their way through the sinister challenges of the haunted mall.
For cover art direction, I gave character descriptions to the editorial team, and coupled with the events of the book, the result is just perfect. It also gets that classic Choose Your Own Adventure® framing!
