Description
For a limited time, includes two free additional short stories.
That's three great short stories for the price of one.
Could there be a hidden room somewhere in your house? And just what would you find lurking there?
Nate, his little sister, and best buddy Dan, stumble upon a hidden room during a sleep-over. What they find inside is anything but friendly.
Includes the bonus short story: Steven, Space Stowaway (originally published in the June issue of Spaceports & Spidersilk).
When Steven's Mom leaves for a mission to Mars, he's determined to come along. Even if he has to sneak onboard.
Just one problem: he gets caught. And the Captain has a particularly unpleasant way of dealing with stowaways.

When a game of Bloody Mary goes terribly wrong, someone might just die.

Scary story
5By roxy5063It was a scary story for meMariam2004
5By mariamjanadI read the first three pages and I couldn't sleep for a month my friend couldn't sleep for a year!!!!!!!!!!!Easy read...too easy
3By SilverwilloThe first short story had promise. Although geared towards juveniles, it seemed a bit "dumbed down", even for the target genera . I at first was under the impression that I was reading the work of a gifted Middle schooler. It fell quite short even as a short story. This is a shame as the premise had much promise, if expanded upon correctly. Second story was ,in my opinion, a waste of both the readers, and the authors time. The Zombie "teaser" was entertaining, and I could see my preteen enjoying it. The story of the chair, now that story provoked feeling,as any work of true art should. Very nice, in a true to life scary ,dark reality, dangerous, heart wrenching sort of way . Redemption for the previous writing. Just an opinion, which, not unlike butts, everyone has one. Will be purchasing full story of The Chair , as the characters have unexpectedly caught me up in their tale. And as I mentioned before , this tale makes the whole book worthwhile. I hope it continues to not disappoint, as I very much look forward to the next chapter. Keep in mind readers, this is tween reading material.Monster in the mirror

4By 1994bobbysgirlThis was an exciting story for tweenagers. I wish it was longer and that the suspense had been developed further.
