About the book
Be afraid, be very afraid of Terrifying Tales, the sixth volume in the Guys Read Library of Great Reading.
Eleven masters of suspense—Kelly Barnhill, Michael Buckley, Adam Gidwitz, Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown, Claire Legrand, Nikki Loftin, Daniel José Older, Dav Pilkey, R.L. Stine, and Rita Williams-Garcia—have come together to bring you a bone-chilling collection of original ghost stories with illustrations by Gris Grimly, perfect for sharing around the campfire, reading under the covers with a flashlight, and scaring your friends’ pants off.
Compiled and edited by kid-lit madman Jon Scieszka, Guys Read: Terrifying Tales is a creepy-fun read (if you’re brave enough, that is).
- Imaginary Friends: What if your imaginary friend wasn’t so imaginary… and came back angry? That’s the problem Tyler faces when Mr. Shocky returns.
- Dark Fairy Tales: Adam Gidwitz delivers a bloody, messed-up version of the Blue-Bearded Bird-Man that will make you pee in your pants.
- Monsters and Mayhem: A wished-for brother who might eat the baby. Cursed coconut heads that move on their own. This collection is crawling with creatures.
- Supernatural Suspense: From R.L. Stine, a magician who can make you *really* disappear. From other masters of suspense, creepy librarians, vengeful ghosts, and tales so scary you’ll sleep with the lights on.
