FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cat Dad Dave Releases Boris Katloff and the Phantom of the Theater, the Third Book in the Spooky Sphynx Mysteries
Every ghost has a story. This one has a song.
Minneapolis, MN — September 30, 2025— Cat Dad Dave, award-winning children’s author and humorist, returns with the third installment in his delightful middle grade series, The Spooky Sphynx Mysteries. Boris Katloff and the Phantom of the Theater (September 30, 2025) brings young readers another thrilling, funny, and heartwarming adventure filled with clever cats, eerie secrets, and just the right amount of spooky.
The once-grand Bluebell Theater has been dark for decades. Its stage is silent, its curtains torn. But at night, strange music drifts through the empty hall. Boris Katloff, a ghost-seeing Sphynx cat, knows someone is waiting inside. With help from his reluctant but loyal best friend Whiskers, Boris discovers Lydia, the ghost of a young singer whose final song was never heard.
To help Lydia find peace, Boris and Whiskers must search crumbling balconies, dodge skittering rats, and brave a storm that threatens to bring the theater down. But when police and animal control close in, the cats have only one chance to help Lydia’s voice rise above the shadows.
“Boris and Whiskers may be cats, but they’re also about courage, friendship, and kindness,” says Cat Dad Dave. “Kids deserve stories that give them goosebumps and laughs in equal measure. And a little heart, too.”
Previous books in the series include Boris Katloff and the Haunted Mill and Boris Katloff and the Whispering Clock. Each adventure stands alone but follows the same unforgettable duo as they solve supernatural mysteries in their seaside town.
About The Spooky Sphynx Mysteries
Meet Boris Katloff, a clever gray Sphynx cat with a sharp mind and a rare gift: he can see and speak with ghosts. By his side is Whiskers, a lovable orange tabby who would much rather nap than chase the supernatural. Together, the two friends unravel eerie mysteries in the seaside town of Bluebell Harbor. From haunted mills to whispering clocks to ghostly theaters, the series blends spooky fun, clever problem-solving, and heartwarming friendship. Perfect for ages 7–12.
