Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
There is a terrifying Native American legend about the Skeleton Man: a man of bones who eats his own flesh, and then his whole family. Now author Joseph Bruchac brings the story chillingly to life in a modern-day setting, with a young heroine who could be any one of us. Her parents have disappeared, and a creepy old man has taken their place...but Molly is determined to uncover the truth that her dreams are trying to tell her.
Footsteps on the Stair -- The Knock on the Door -- The Dream -- Dark Cedars -- Eat and Grow Fat -- No Pictures -- The Counselor -- The Girl in the Story.
After her parents disappear and she is turned over to the care of a strange "great-uncle," Molly must rely on her dreams about an old Mohawk story for her safety and maybe even for her life.
