From the creators of Good Mythical Morning and authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Rhett and Link's Book of Mythicality, a thrilling and darkly funny novel in the vein of Stranger Things and The Goonies about two best friends fighting the darkness at the heart of their Southern town
Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, raised in North Carolina and best friends since the first grade, are a comedy duo known for creating the Internet's most-watched daily talk show, Good Mythical Morning; their award-winning weekly podcast Ear Biscuits; and the instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality. They share an office at Mythical Entertainment, the company they cofounded, but live separately with their respective wives, children, and dogs in Los Angeles.
“Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal conjure up a heady brew of
hilarity, friendship, and dark forces in the small-town South,
where being the funny, smart kids might just end up as the fight of
your life. Fans of John Green and Stranger Things take
note.”—Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author
of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds
“I cannot think of a more exciting novel to read—and share with my
sons—than The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek! Thank you,
Rhett and Link, for this gem about friendship, courage, and
adventure, which is touched by your humor, wit, and
intelligence with each twist and turn!”—Mayim Bialik, New York
Times bestselling author of Boying Up
“I tore through all 324 pages of this book in one sitting—and I
still didn't want it to end! I would have been willing to read as
many as 325 pages, or possibly even 326. Though if I'm being
totally honest, they probably could have stopped at 323. Either
way, I loved this creative book.”—Jimmy Fallon, host of The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
“The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek reminded me, lovingly and
longingly, of films like The Goonies or The Lost
Boys—those kind of throwback narratives that make you recall what
it was like to be a kid: the close friendships, that strange and
needful breed of fear you only feel at that age, and the looming
threat of adulthood lurking at the periphery. If, like me, you
believe there's a power vested in books that can take you back in
time, then this book is its own little power plant.”—Craig
Davidson, author of The Saturday Night Ghost Club
“An entertaining narrative . . . Brimming with 1990s cultural
references ranging from New Kids on the Block to Hypercolor
t-shirts, the story is funny, spooky, and at times
terrifying.”–Booklist
