The Stuff of Nightmares by Malorie Blackman
4.0
Let's say a very high three.
I don't really know what to say. I was abit disappointed as it wasn't as good as the first book I read by Malorie Blackman but that was a few years ago and my tastes have changed but I still stand by my original statement that she is an amazing author.
And I would just like to say that adding the 'not for younger readers' label was a great idea as this is probably the most disturbing book I've read. Some of the nightmares actually made me fearful as if I'd just watched them in a horror movie. Also the tension was built up in each nightmare I was sat there gasping and partially hiding under my covers the whole time I was reading it.
I don't really know how I felt about the ending as I got over it within a few seconds of finishing but I suppose the ending was supposed to be calm in contrast to the rest of the book.
I wouldn't read if you are someone who is scared easily or easily disturbed but if you like death, devils, suicide and crazy murderous children then this is a book for you!
