The Midnight Place series is Grant’s contribution to young adult horror, published mainly in 1992 and 1993 with a late addition in 2017. The books follow teenagers dealing with supernatural events in their community, written with the same atmospheric care Grant brought to his adult fiction.
Daughter of Darkness and Something’s Watching set up a world where ordinary teen life is disrupted by forces that adults can’t see or won’t acknowledge. The series predates the YA horror boom but shares its appeal to readers who want genuine scares aimed at a younger audience.
