Read, Scream, Repeat

Publisher: Farshore

Dare you read these thirteen tales of terror?

Curated by Jennifer Killick - author of the Crater Lake and Dread Wood horror-comedy series for middle-grade readers - this spine-chilling anthology features spooky stories from a diverse range of authors such as Kirsty Applebaum, Jasbinder Bilan, Aisha Bushby, Joseph Coelho, Rachel Delahaye, Kat Ellis, Phil Hickes, Polly Ho-Yen, Sharna Jackson, Jennifer Killick, Elle McNicoll, Dan Smith and J.T.Williams.

A zombie arcade game becomes uncomfortably realistic; an old silk rug has an insatiable hunger for flesh; and a discarded doll has other ideas...

Each of these short stories is the perfect length to read before bedtime (for the very bravest of readers!), but this collection is also perfect for simply dipping in and out of. Sensitive readers should be warned that not all of these stories have happy endings, and this book is best enjoyed by confident middle-grade readers who love all things ghostly and ghoulish. A must-have in the run up to Halloween!
