Overview

Admission: twenty-five cents. Leaving costs more.

Twelve-year-old Josie Carver and her nine-year-old brother, Wes, came to Fort Pickens to camp on the white sand of Santa Rosa Island. Then Hurricane Odette turns. The only road off the island floods. And the only place left to hide from the storm is inside the old brick fort itself.

That's where they meet the Keeper: a thin man in a bowler hat with a lantern, a ticket punch, and a smile that never moves. He sells them each a ticket. Admit one child. Then he tells them the rules:

Stay where the lanterns are lit.
Don't wander into the dark.
And whatever you do, children, don't open the gate.

But the fort is full of things the Keeper doesn't want anyone to know about: a hidden office full of old photographs, lost children who write messages on fogged-up glass, and a tall, silent man who has been waiting behind the gate for more than a hundred years. As the eye of the hurricane passes overhead, Josie and Wes have one night to uncover the Keeper's secret and decide whether some rules are meant to be broken... before the storm comes back and they become part of his show forever.

Don't Open the Gate is Book 5 of The Don't Files, a series of spine-tingling standalone horror novels for readers ages 10 to 14. Packed with eerie black-and-white illustrations and rooted in the real history of Fort Pickens, it's perfect for reluctant readers, sleepovers, Halloween, and anyone who loves a good scare. Read the books in any order... if you dare.
