Serafina and the Black Cloak

by Robert Beatty

I'll admit it. I'm a total sucker for a dark and forbidden forest. I just can't resist it. Sometimes those forests deliver the thrills and chills I'm looking for, and sometimes they don't. Serafina delivers, big time.

Seraphina and her Pa live in the basement of the Biltmore mansion, but no one knows they have made their home there, and no one knows Serafina exists. She's a strange little girl for all of her isolation, and believes she is the Chief Rat Catcher for the Biltmore. (She's really good it, actually!) One night, she witnesses a terrifying man in a black cloak pursue, and magically devour, a little blonde girl. He tries to get Serafina, but she manages to escape him. She then makes it her mission to try to help the blonde girl, and keep anyone else from becoming his prey. But to do this, she endangers everything her father has tried so hard to protect.
