About this listen

Are you a fan of Stephen King and Dean Koontz? If you're looking for something fresh and new, join the millions of readers who have already delved into the heart-pounding World's Scariest Legends.

"Those who enjoy Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and other masters of supernatural suspense will relish The Dancing Plague's ability to move through time, relationships, and intrigue to question the roots of mass hysteria and paranormal experiences." —Midwest Book Review

What would you get if you smashed together Stephen King's coming-of-age tale The Body (aka Stand by Me) with Richard Laymon's The Traveling Vampire Show? Give The Dancing Plague a read to find out!


In the sixteenth century hundreds of residents of Strasbourg in Alsace (now France) danced uncontrollably for days on end, many dropping dead from their exertions.

Nearly four hundred years later “the dancing plague” has returned, this time afflicting the residents of an idyllic Cape Cod town.

For twelve-year-old Ben Graves and his two friends, the inexplicable dancing mania is only the beginning of the horror to come.

Publisher's note: Although The Dancing Plague can be read as a complete, stand-alone, full-length novel, it has been conceived as a two-part story. This is Book 1. It is set in 1988 and tells the story from the perspectives of three 12-year-old children. Book 2 will be set in the present day and continue the story from the perspectives of the same three children, only as middle-aged adults. So please stay tuned! The release date for Book 2 is late 2022.
