Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall

A Choose Your own Adventure® Book

By Jendia Gammon

From Nebula and BSFA Award finalist Jendia Gammon, Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall is a brand new Choose Your Own Adventure® book publishing via Chooseco LLC on April 21, 2026, distributed by Penguin Random House.

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!!

Praise for Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall

“Frightening, disgusting, and in very bad taste – and that’s just the ’80s outfits! A horrific trip to the past, filled with excitement and danger.”

– Antony Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Blonde and The Dog Sitter Detective series

“Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall promises fun and excitement for the old fans like myself, and the kids in your life, you know would get a kick out of some 80s and flavored weirdness. I laughed so hard I cried happy tears.”
