Publisher's summary

Ret McCoy was always the new kid, but after three years in the small town of Riverton, he thinks his family may have finally settled. He and his friends have the perfect summer planned before they start seventh grade, and his new job at the local mortuary promises enough pocket money for all the sodas they can drink.

A dare from an older boy quickly ruins their plans. Everyone knows to stay away from the Crooked House, but after Ret and his friends take on the dare to spend the night in the abandoned house, they become caught up in the house’s dark history.

Later, an outsider buys the house. When people start to disappear, Ret is determined to solve the mystery before it swallows the entire town. His obsession with the Crooked House and its strange new owner threatens to put him and his friends in danger more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.

Great read!

This book proves that Mr. McKay is well on his way to becoming a number one writer.

The story took me back to a time I really miss, and he does a fantastic job of painting the picture. The paranormal element was the icing on the cake, making it difficult to find a stopping point! (I spent a lot of time sitting in driveway!)

I highly recommend recommend this book to any King or Koontz fan!

R.L. STIEN WHO?

McKay hit this one out of the park! absolutely amazing thriller! the characters were explained in those details that paint a perfect picture of who they were. I read a bunch of Goosebumps as a kid and this was 10x better than anyone I read. I finished it in 3 short days. the description and ambiance of every scene was tremendous. I knew there would be some twist and turns, but nothing I could have imagined happened. Bravo!

Great book. The narration was fantastic, he gave each character their own voice and was great at conveying emotions.

A great creative story

References to 70’s/80’s childhoods are the best part of this entertaining story, loved all the characters and found it a great listen.

Great coming of age tale!!!

The Other Side of Elsewhere has the perfect balance of fun, action, adventure and horror! If you like Stand by Me, Stranger Things or The Sandlot you will love Brett McKay’s The Other Side of Elsewhere! This coming of age thriller is written from the point of view of a twelve year old boy. His writing is brilliant, and his characters are so real you feel you know them even though some are quite horrifying. This is a captivating book and the reader depicts the characters well. I loved it!!!
