Ricky Beamer’s frustration turns to a prank when he removes his name from the school paper and leaves a mischievous note, “If you’re a creep, call Tasha after midnight.” The message spirals out of his control when it is edited and misdirected, and soon he receives calls from classmates—creps with scaly purple skin and long, sharp fangs—who stake out midnight and challenge his sense of humor. The book follows Ricky as he navigates the unexpected horror unfolding in his own school, blending teenage schoolyard mischief with genuine spooky tension.
