Eddie didn't expect anything good from moving to Gatesweed. There are no lights in the broken windows, and the lawns are overgrown... But everything changed when the boy found out that his favorite writer of scary stories, Nathaniel Olmsted, lived in Gatesweed! According to local beliefs, the work of the writer who disappeared without a trace many years ago brought misfortune to the city, and Olmsted's stories are dangerous... New friends take Eddie to the Nameless Forest and show him a local landmark - a statue of a girl. Exactly the same as in Olmsted's book - the Stone Child! No one knows where it came from or what it means, but the townspeople say that a creepy ghost, the Woman in Black, also lives in the forest. And Eddie’s mom just started writing a novel about... the Dark Lady. Isn't this a strange coincidence? Eddie is sure that the answers to all questions are connected with the statue...
