FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Spooky Mystery Series Launches for Kids Ages 7–12:
Boris Katloff and the Haunted Mill Kicks Off the Spooky Sphynx Mysteries Series
Minneapolis, MN — March 1, 2025 — Ghosts, giggles, and a fearless hairless cat come together in the launch of The Spooky Sphynx Series, a new middle-grade mystery adventure from award-winning author and humorist Cat Dad Dave. The series opens with Boris Katloff and the Haunted Mill, a warm and spooky tale about friendship, forgotten recipes, and helping restless spirits find peace.
In a coastal town full of secrets, Boris Katloff—a clever gray sphynx cat with a supernatural gift—teams up with his snack-loving tabby sidekick, Whiskers, to uncover the truth behind an abandoned grain mill that creaks with ghostly activity. When they discover a ghostly baker searching for a lost family recipe, the cats must brave haunted hallways, falling beams, and one very dramatic haunting to make things right before time runs out.
“Boris is a tribute to my real cat, who had the heart of a detective and the soul of a trickster,” says Cat Dad Dave. “This series is all about celebrating friendship, facing fears, and making even ghost stories feel full of life.”
