Horror without being scary; some of them where also a bit sad.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced e-arc.
What a super creepy, weirdly twisted middle grade book! Some of these stories make you tuck your feet under the bed and some are just warnings. I think my middle grade children might actually read this.

I quite enjoyed nearly every single one of these short stories— one was a miss. But, if they were fleshed out a bit more and we’re a little longer this could of been great. As it stands though it’s just okay.

i mean.
had a 3 hour drive so chose the first 3 hour audiobook i saw to listen to. Couldn't say no to a short horror collection... Clearly didnt see that it was middle grade, i was not frightened.
Disappointed, but its my own damn fault. Im sure kids would enjoy.
I cant really rate this lol
tbh i did listen to the whole thing, so maybe that says something
