<p>SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Gr 4-6 –Twins Hansel and Gretel return home from a camping trip to find their parents missing and lots of weird stuff happening in their home. It turns out that their parents are monster hunters who have been secretly keeping the local cryptofauna at bay, and now it’s up to the kids to face down the monsters and rescue their parents. The candy-colored palette and stream of wisecracks from the bickering siblings help keep this action-filled story from getting too intense.</p>

"I'm not usually a fan of fairy tale stories,
but I have a hunch Grimms Town, Candy Creeper, is going to make me change my
mind. The story by Neo Edmund is not only great fun, with sparkling dialogue and
characters I came to understand and care about right from the very beginning,
but it's also sneaks up on you as a solid horror/adventure story as well. I
found myself wanting... no... needing to finish reading it in one binge-worthy
session. And it certainly doesn't hurt that the art by Renae Deliz is truly
amazing. Her characters live and breathe and her ability to create a real world
for those characters to live in, immediately draws you into the story. Neo and
Renae have done a wonderful job of making me care and if you give Grimms Town a
chance I have a hunch it'll do the same for you." -Marv

Hansel & Gretel must now pick up where their parents left off and rise to become the new protectors of Grimms Town. Armed with an awesome array of techno-magical weapons designed for paranormal butt-kicking kicking (technological devices fueled by magical energy), coupled the mysterious ability to control a mystical element called terramana, they will embark upon a heroic adventure to find their missing parents. Along the way they learn of a secret family curse that gives them the power to fight evil, but also puts them in danger of becoming evil themselves. With the help of their whimsically-weird Aunt Zoe and a goblin called Grubb that's about as fierce as a puppy, they will fight to protect Grimms Town from the many creepy and dreadful things that go bump in the night.
The Grimms Town Terror Tales combines the suspenseful intrigue of Stranger Things with the zany ghoul-capturing antics of Ghostbusters. With a mix of humor and spine-tingling terror, these tales are sure to captivate readers both young and old alike.
