For some people, Halloween season starts long before October arrives. By the time summer is winding down, readers, bookstores, and social media creators are already looking for their next spooky read.
This year, readers can return to the strange and mysterious town of Mock Cob Village with the upcoming sequel, Mock Cob Rituals.
The Mock Cob series by author Jackie Sonnenberg blends young adult dark fantasy and horror into a style that has been nicknamed “horrorsy.” The books have attracted readers ranging from about 10 to 70, showing that stories about magic, monsters, and things lurking in the dark can appeal to a wide range of ages.
Since the release of Mock Cob Village, the series has found its way onto the shelves of independent bookstores as well as larger retail chains. One question has continued to come up from readers: When is the next book coming out?
That wait is almost over.
A New Mystery Awaits in Mock Cob
Just in time for Halloween, Mock Cob Rituals arrives this October, continuing the story of the characters introduced in the first book.
The sequel picks up as the main characters deal with the aftermath of the terrifying events they experienced on October 31st. While some may be hoping to put those events behind them, Bernadette, the young witch at the center of the story, isn’t ready to walk away from the mysteries surrounding them.
Bernadette is determined to uncover the paranormal secrets hiding beneath the surface. There’s just one problem: controlling her magic isn’t exactly easy.
As she attempts to solve the problems around her, Bernadette may discover that trying to fix one mystery can create entirely new ones. Her investigation could lead to consequences she never expected.
Pre-Orders Are Now Available
Mock Cob Rituals is currently available for pre-order, and early orders are already shipping ahead of the book’s October 30 release date.
For readers looking to explore the series before Halloween, both Mock Cob Village and Mock Cob Rituals are available through 4 Horsemen Publications, with discounted pricing available.
With its mix of young adult dark fantasy, paranormal mysteries, witches, and horror, the Mock Cob series offers readers a trip into a town where the things hiding in the darkness may be closer than they appear.
