If you didn't get your share of thrills this Halloween, here's a collection of very short, scary stories to spook you. The tales aren't terrifying in a gut-wrenching, fangs-dripping-blood way. There's no gore and little violence, but these incredibly brief stories play upon all your fears and leave you prickling with a faint sense of unease.
This is the perfect read-aloud book -- all the tales are two pages long. They start out normally enough, but then they twist and turn their way swiftly toward a startling end. They're full of creepy things: stairs that only go down and not up; monsters that shuffle under the bed; people who turn out to be ghosts, vampires, or worse; and a hiding place that's so good nobody can find you, ever.
