Tales from the Fringes of Fear

With the resurgence of the Goosebumps books and movies and the popularity of Netflix’s Stranger Things, kids are gobbling up horror now more than ever.  Like the author’s previous book, Tales from Beyond the Brain, this book features thirteen tales that will either make you laugh out loud or never want to go to sleep again.  The book is a throwback to the spooky horror tales of yore—think Tales from the Crypt meets The Twilight Zone.  Vivid and creepy black-and-white illustrations from Steven P. Hughes help to set the spooky tone of these thirteen stories.  The author is a horror-film aficionado and a teacher.
