This book was a lot of fun! I found it in the YA section at my library (it finally re-opened for public browsing — rejoice!), so my mistake for expecting it to be about 16-17 year olds. The protagonists in both stories are in eighth grade, and I did feel the writing felt young. (It sounded younger than the 8th graders I used to teach, anyway.) However, that said, the stories absolutely felt like it could be Creepshow, Jr. I felt almost like I was reading and old episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? I’ll definitely check out the next installment.
