Beneath the town's cheerful fa ade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to the Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a history of putting unruly youths back on the straight and narrow--a record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the suspicious deaths that have occurred there over the past decade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At first, high school freshmen Rex McClendon and Leif Nelson believe what they've been told: that the students' strange demises were all just tragic accidents, the unfortunate consequence of succumbing to vices like Marlboro Lights and Nirvana. But when the shoot for their low-budget horror masterpiece, \u003ci\u003ePolterDog, \u003c\/i\u003e goes horribly awry--and their best friend, Alicia Boykins, is sent to Whitewood as punishment--Rex and Leif are forced to question everything they know about their unassuming hometown and its cherished school for delinquents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eager to rescue their friend, Rex and Leif pair up with recent NYU film school graduate Janine Blitstein to begin piecing together the unsettling truth of the school and its mysterious founder, Wayne Whitewood. What they find will leave them battling an evil beyond their wildest imaginations--one that will shake Bleak Creek to its core. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Lost Causes of Bleak Creek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Causes of Bleak Creek\u003c\/i\u003e is like your best friend from high school--kind of weird and a little twisted, but no matter how much trouble they caused, they always made you laugh.
