Spooky Stories for Creepy Kids

Can't get enough chills with your reading thrills? Looking for something different from Goosebumps but not quite ready for the King of horror?

Try these fang-tastic scary stories, perfect for reading in the dark, long past your bedtime.

Eerie Elementary is one terrifying place, especially now that we know The School Is Alive! With the school play just around the corner, Sam, Lucy and Antonio have just one chance to defeat their evil school.

Scary Stories for Young Foxes is full of tales of horror, which is just what these vulpine siblings are hunting for. But when they find the storyteller in the old cave in the woods, will the tales be too much? Will the siblings turn tail and run or stay to hear the ending?

Tales from Cabin 23 are sure to raise the hairs on the back of your neck, especially in Night of the Living Head. Alia has the worst luck, but none more awful than her estranged sister coming home again. There are rumors of a monster, and the timing is just too suspicious. The only real question is: has Alia's luck finally run out, or can she discover her sister's secrets before it's too late?

Few do spine-chilling stories as well as R.K Alexander and his book The Collector. Josie hates getting packed off to the woods to help her sick grandmother. But she hates the nightmares and disappearances more. Maybe all her grandmother's strange rules actually make sense. And maybe her new friend Vanessa isn't all that she seems.
