About the FrightVision middle grade book series

☠️ From the haunted mind of award-winning author Culliver Crantz comes FrightVision. Think Goosebumps meets Stranger Things… your kids will have a hard time putting down this spine-tingling middle grade series. ☠️


Here’s what one satisfied parent had to say about the FrightVision series: 

“My  son liked it just as much as Goosebumps, which means he loved it. I, on  the other hand, actually enjoyed this story more than Goosebumps  because I liked that it was written for a grade level slightly above  Goosebumps, the story and characters had more dimension, and the twist  was good but not bonkers like some of R.L. Stine’s stories.”


Teacher, parent, and librarian-approved!


The series begins with The Cursed Coin, a story about a little boy named RJ  who’s afraid of everything, and his sister Shelly who’s afraid of nothing. One day, while on their daily walk around the neighborhood, RJ and his sister find a coin outside a creepy, abandoned house and their lives change for the worse…

As you read through all 8 books, you’ll start to understand how it all began, how each book connects with the other, and the terrifying truth behind FrightVision. 


School teacher Laura claims these books are winners: 

“Kids  can relate to the main characters, the storyline is exciting and the  text is fast moving. I thoroughly recommend this book—it is the perfect  mash-up of Goosebumps, Stranger Things and The Twilight Zone. I can’t  wait for the next one in the series to come out!!”


A great read for all ages! This well-written, relatable, and creepy bedtime read is full of twists and surprises (without being too scary or too intense).


A truly spooky series, FrightVision is full of fun and the perfect story to share with your kids. This well-paced tale grabs you from the start and doesn’t let up. 


The Next Best Book Series


A Goosebumps super-fan himself, Culliver Crantz created the FrightVision  series to continue the tradition of telling mind-bending thrillers (with just the right amount of horror) for middle grade readers 7-12 years old. 


Crantz teamed up with many different writers to make sure  each book in the FrightVision series has a unique voice and realistic experiences.


Each book works as a standalone tale. But to learn more about the unfinished mystery of FrightVision, you have to read all of the books in the series: 

1. The Cursed Coin
2. Picture Day
3. Wishful Thinking
4. Framed For Life
5. #GraveyardChallenge
6. The Attack Of The Yellow Smart Sack
7. The Cursed Coin 2
8. Broken Hearts

[Book #9 The Peephole Coming Soon]
