Thirteen chilling short stories to keep you up at night--but only if you dare. You never know what's out to get you. Though you might think you're safe from monsters and menaces, everyday objects can turn against you, too. A mysterious microwave. A threatening board game. A snowman that refuses to melt. Even your own heartbeat has its secrets. Thu-thump. Thu-thump. When you stop to listen, each beat sounds more menacing than the last. Master storyteller Josh Allen brings thirteen nightmare scenarios to life in this must-listen collection that's perfect for budding horror junkies. In his wondrous world, danger waits behind every doorway . . . even in the most ordinary places. Listeners will sleep with one eye open!
Only if You dare is a collection of 13 short stories that are perfect for the middle school reader. I really enjoyed listening to this one. I would have absolutely devoured this collection when I was in middle school. Every story was just creepy and disturbing enough some someone who is just starting to get into horror. I was really impressed with the balance of the stories being just a little step above Goosebumps, but not so over the top that they would scare a young reader who is trying out horror.
My favorites ones were "The Substitute", "Scrabbled", and "My Right Hand, Right There". There is something in here for every reader. Most of them have modern issues that kids might have fears about. I highly recommend this one. It would be a wonderful addition to any classroom library.
