Darkness Creeping: Twenty Twisted Tales

Darkness Creeping: Twenty Twisted Tales by Boston Globe–Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman is a collection of short horror stories designed to thrill and chill young readers. Each of the twenty tales presents a unique, unsettling scenario, from being trapped in a nightmare to encountering hollow-eyed skulls. While the publisher suggests an age range of 4-11, the 'masterfully creepy' and 'horrifying' nature of these stories makes them most suitable for confident readers aged 8 and up who enjoy a good scare. It's an excellent choice for kids who like Goosebumps or 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,' offering suspenseful plots and unexpected twists that will keep them turning pages.

Imagine being trapped forever in someone else's nightmare, with no means of escape. Or caught on one of the most terrifying roller coasters of all time, when suddenly the tracks ahead just disappear. Enter the world of Darkness Creeping, where hollow-eyed skulls arrive in the mail and nothing is as it seems. Boston Globe–Horn Book Award winner and beloved author Neal Shusterman walks on the dark side with this classic collection of masterfully creepy stories so horrifying, you may have to read them twice to remind yourself they're not real.
