Howlvin Stein And The Witches Curse

When twelve-year-old Howlvin Stein moves into a creaking old Victorian house on the edge of town, he expects a fresh start—not secrets lurking beneath the floorboards. But deep in the cellar, he discovers an ancient book marked with a strange symbol: a whale surrounded by stars.

The moment he opens it, something awakens.

Strange things begin to follow Howlvin—whispers in the walls, shadows that move on their own, and a forest that seems to be watching him. With the help of his only friend, Samantha Elm, and his loyal dog Frankie, Howlvin is drawn into a mystery older than Maplewood itself—a story of a vanished founder, a vengeful witch, and a curse that refuses to die.

But the deeper they go, the more the forest changes… twisting paths, trapping memories, and pulling them toward something waiting in the dark.

Because this isn’t just a story hidden in a book.

It’s a story that remembers.

And it’s not finished with them yet.
