Stine, Holly Black, Brett Helquist, and Margaret Atwood. You’ll never look at your closet door, your cat, your sock drawer, or even yourself in the mirror the same way again!

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“This one’s a creepy keeper.” (ALA Booklist)

“It’s a party game: write a scary story that will take less than thirty seconds to read. With a party of seventy-five that includes such guests as Neil Gaiman, Sonya Sones, Jon Scieszka, and Margaret Atwood, the results are bound to be pretty good.” (Horn Book (starred review))

“This thrilling addition to the shiver-inducing arsenal will appeal to even the most reluctant of readers.” (School Library Journal)

“Only have a minute to be scared? This is your book. Writing just a paragraph or a page, some of the best-loved kids’ book authors each contributed a compact creepy tale to this collection. A definite spook-fest.” (Washington Post)
