From the creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot comes the epic finale to the middle-grade horror series about a horrible bag, the spine-chilling world hidden within it, and a terrifying adventure into the world of GrahBhag.
Perfect for fans of Coraline, the Spiderwick Chronicles, and Small Spaces.

They entered the horrible bag… They survived the twisted tower… But can they escape the cursed cloak?

Zenith Maelstrom is running out of time. It’s only been a month on Earth since he was ejected from the macabre world of GrahBhag, with his sister Apogee and best friend Kevin still trapped inside, but in GrahBhag, years are passing. And with the horrible bag out of reach, Zenith has no way to get back to save them.

That is, until a new portal opens up and provides him passage back to GrahBhag. Once there, he learns that things are more dire than he thought, as the literal fabric of the terrifying world has begun to rip at the seams. If Zenith has any chance to save his sister—and maybe even GrahBhag in the process—he’ll have to dive deeper into the secrets of this terrible world than he ever has before. For the Wraith is haunting, and time is not on his side…

With a combination of dry, absurdist humor and no-holds-barred horror, Rob Renzetti has crafted a delightfully imaginative fantasy world that will hook readers as surely as it will send chills down their spines.

Praise for The Cursed Cloak of the Wretched Wraith #3


"The heart of the story is Renzetti’s immersive world, populated by otherworldly characters like the quippy Schrödinger’s Cat and Zenith’s likable, trusty, and quirky gargoyle sidekick, Kreeble. What stands out most among the fantastical elements is the fierce love between Zenith and Apogee and their deep appreciation for the many creatures in GrahBhag… A rewarding ending to an imaginative, wholly original series."—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Horrible Bag of Terrible Things:

“This book is Terrible, Horrible, and a fiendish delight. Rob Renzetti will send a shiver down your spine and give you a phobia of bags that you never will recover from. Open at your own dismay!”—Alex Hirsch, New York Times bestselling author and creator of Gravity Falls

"Exhilarating, spooky, and reminiscent of Through the Looking Glass—if everyone and everything in Wonderland was trying to kill Alice."—Shelf Awareness, starred review
