One week after arriving on Scream Street, Luke Watson is even more determined to find the six relics that will let him return home, but he and his friends must first face problems with the vampires' vital blood supply and with raging sewer rats.

Deadstock, the world's greatest zombie rock festival, comes to Scream Street, but when the headlining band is banished to the evil Underlands and townsfolk riot, Luke and his friends must restore peace if they plan to continue their search for the relics that will allow Luke to return home.

With the sixth and final relic almost within his grasp, Luke learns something unexpected about the author who has been helping him in his quest to return with his terrified parents to his own world, presenting a dilemma that is not helped by a witch causing havoc in the neighborhood.

Luke, Resus, and Cleo are eager to begin their new quest, and the first stop is Count Negatov's castle! As the three make their way through the bleak, murky wilds of Transylvania, it looks like this adventure will be dull but easy, until, that is, they are kidnapped by trolls.
