Fear: 13 stories of suspense and horror ed. by R.L. Stine
Random House, 2010.
(Teenagers +) Fear is a great book. It has amazing twists that
you
won't
see coming and each of the thirteen stories are different.
The story Suckers by Suzanne Weyn is about a boy named Phil.
It's the
end of his junior high year and his parents decide to move to the newly
formed planet Lectus but then people start disappearing.
And then there's also the story Shadow Children by Heather
Brewer. It
is about a boy called Dax who misses out on going to his friend's party
because he has to baby sit his brother (Jon). But when Jon's night
light goes out and Dax refuses to fix it the shadows kidnap Jon.
Another story Tuition by Walter Sorrells is about a boy named
Marlon.
It's his 17th birthday and all he wants is a normal life, one that
doesn't involve stealing. He is on what could be his last job if it
goes successfully but if it doesn't he will go to jail.
I loved this book. As soon as I read the first sentence I couldn't put
it down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes
mysteries, suspense and monsters.
