Private School is a young adult horror series set in a boarding school where nothing is quite what it seems. The six books, published rapidly in 1986 and 1987, follow students who discover that their academy harbors both supernatural forces and human malice.
Grant wrote the series during the 1980s YA horror wave, alongside authors like R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike. The fast publication pace — six books in under two years — gave the series the feel of a thriller serial, with each installment ending on a hook that drove readers to the next.
