R.L. Stine presents Fear: 13 Stories of Suspense and Horror
These thirteen tales of horror, mystery, and suspense are a perfect read for this Halloween season. Each is a twisted story from creepy creations to serial killers. Written for young adults, none are too graphic but have plenty of thrills and chills. Generally, I’m not a fan of short stories and anthologies. But these are easy reading and plenty of fun. Below is a short description of each story by each author:
R.L. Stine’s “Welcome to the Club” – A boy is pressured to join a club by killing his mean boss.
Heather Graham’s “She’s Different Tonight” – A cruel boy messes with the wrong girl on Halloween.
Suzanne Weyn’s “Suckers” – On a distant planet, humans keep disappearing.
Jennifer Allison’s “The Perfects” – The Perfect’s children are a babysitter’s worst nightmare.
