So, I'm not huge on horror. Most of these stories I didn't find very horrifying... But some of my favorite authors were working on it so I just had to get it! I discovered some short, bizarre stories, none of which too scary to me, but nonetheless frightening for children under the age of ten. Except for the biscuit one.. I really didn't understand that...

How scared can I get in thirty seconds? Well, I decided to find out. I picked up this book upon seeing the words "half-minute". This greatly appealed to my fluctuating attention span, which that day was extremely short. Overall, the stories were good; some more than others. It was interesting to see some of the big name authors that had contributed. My favorite, and in my opinion the creepiest, was "At the Water's Edge". Something about the lack of information the reader is given coupled with th...more
อ่านรีวิวของนักอ่านคนอื่นๆ แล้วพบว่าคนที่ให้ดาวน้อยๆ ล้วนบอกว่าน่ากลัวและรุนแรงเกินไปสำหรับเด็ก
(มีแม่ที่แนะนำให้ลูกสาววัย 8 ขวบยืมจากห้องสมุดมาอ่าน แล้วพอตัวเองมาอ่านแล้วก็ต้องไปขอโทษลูกสาวด้วยที่แนะนำให้ยืมเล่มนี้!)
ส่วนตัวเราเอง เราว่ามันสั้นเกินกว่าที่จะน่ากลัวนะ
แล้วพล็อตเรื่องก็ซ้ำๆ เดิมด้วย
(แต่บางตอนก็แปลกใหม่/นำเสนอได้ดี...แต่ในอัตราส่วนที่น้อย)

One day, I was at the library with a friend and I saw this book on the shelf. Just laying there, waiting to be picked up. And, upon picking it up, there was absolutely no contemplation on whether or not I should read it. This is probably the best short story book I've read since Jon Scieszca's Guys Write for Guys Read, which I recommend to anyone of the male category. It took one night to read and, it was so good that I put off eating dinner for a whole five minutes before putting it down. And,...more

Any fan of the horror genre
The first time I looked at this book, I was in the library, looking for some scary stories. I picked it up. Didn't look too interesting; the cover looked a little too humorous to be scary. I almost put it down.
I am so glad that I decided to bring it home and read it.
This book really, legitimately scared me in some very clever ways.
I'm not going to pretend like I'm hard to scare. It's easy to freak me out. But this book is something more. It was clever and original and just plain fun to read.

I'm not usually a big fan of flash-fiction in most of its forms, but one of the places it works best is with scary stories, and the authors on the docket for this one made it something I couldn't ignore: M.T. Anderson, Holly Black, Richard Sala, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood (?!), and lots, lots, lots more.
It was actually a lot of fun. The stories are all pretty slight, as you might imagine, but they're often clever, and there's a nice blend of comics, poems, one-paragraph stingers, and slightly-...more

I absolutely love this collection. The stories really only do take a half minute each to read and here's a sample.
The Goblin Book by Brad Meltzer
On his deathbed, my grandfather gave me The Goblin Book.
"It'll work for you," he whispered. "It will."
Don't worry. I was confused too. I didn't like creepy old grandfathers who talked in riddles. It was annoying.
But he explained how it worked. How a reader - usually a smart one - would be holding a book, lost in a story. And then the book would feel odd...more

Sesuai dengan judulnya Half-Minute (cerita-cerita dalam buku ini pendek-pendek dan bisa dibaca tidak lebih dari setengah menit) Horrors ( semua cerita bertema horor. Sebagian cerita benar-benar horor, sebagian lagi kurang terasa horor-nya, malah beberapa ada yang bikin senyum-senyum dan bikin bingung, karena ini buku anak-anak mungkin hal itu bisa dimaklumi.) Proyek buku ini bisa dibilang sebuah upaya persekongkolan para penulis terkenal untuk menakuiti anak-anak. :)

I found this book on Amazon.com, though I forgot the pathway to it.
I admit being pulled to it when I saw Neil Gaiman, Katherine Applegate (also known as K.A. Applegate, author of Animorphs!), R.L. Stine (man, did I love his Goosebumps series when I was younger!), Melissa Marr, Holly Black, Margaret Atwood, Avi, Libba Bray, Faye Kellerman, Gail Carson Levin, Gregory Maguire, Joyce Carol Oates, Lemony Snicket and Jerry Spinelli contributed to it.

Von allen Kurzgeschichtensammlungen, die ich bisher gelesen habe, ist das hier wohl meine liebste. Sie enthält über 70 Mini-Geschichten, wie der Titel schon sagt: halbminütige Horrorstories, die meisten also nur eine Seite lang. Zur Auflockerung gibt es zwischendurch auch ein paar Comics oder illustrierte Limericks.
Das Schöne an dieser Sammlung ist, dass die Geschichten sich nicht auf lustigen Kindergrusel reduzieren, sondern wirklich einige gruselige Schocker dabei sind (natürlich nicht mit Spl...more

Covergestaltung:
Ich finde das Cover sehr gelungen! Es passt zum Thema der Geschichten (Horror) und man es hat es geschafft alle Namen dort unterzubringen, ohne, dass es dadurch überladen wirkt.
Meine Meinung:

I loved the idea; it harks back to Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories series. However, while the cover was extremely promising, the stories for the most part fell short of "instant fright"itude. I did take into account my age--but the Schwartz books remain as deliciously horrifying to me now as they did in my childhood, so I must suppose that the Half-Minute Horrors were living up to some other standard of juvenile terror tales. Among the particularly lame are James Patterson's "Grand Entrance," Jen...more
Incredible! All my favorite authors, all the people I followed and love, combined into one spine-tingling, sensational short-story novel. With over 50 short stories including comics, scary art, haikus, short stories and more, this sure to keep you reading for a while. Although they aren't "scary" they are entertaining and some of them are creepy enough to make you shiver for the time being. A collection of horrors is just what I needed. Seeing as though I can't decide which author to read a book...more
I've long felt that horror is best suited to the short story form, and most of the entries here prove this true in surprisingly shocking fashion- there's many an arm-hair-raising build to a bile-curdling finale.
There are some more old-fashioned ghost stories here, and a few that are more existentially meditative than actually 'scary', but a large number of them deal with truly horrifying subjects- evil parents, murderous psychopaths, and even cannibalism are all present here.

I actually picked up this book at the library and suggested my 8-year-old daughter check it out. With a quick flip through I thought the stories looked like fun campfire type ghost stories I loved when I was a kid. After she had read it twice in one day, she wanted me to read it and tell her which story was her favorite. The first few stories were just what I had expected and I was truly enjoying it. It was when I got to the story involving one child arranging the drowning of another child that...more
These half-minute horrors were awesome. They are soo much quicker than short stories -I don't know why there aren't more of them done.They provide just the bit of a jolt you need to feel either frightened or think hmmmm.

Mom, you will like this...well, most of it. Funky Halloween stories that literally take 30 seconds to read, all by different authors including many of the most famous YA authors. I think I counted 72 stories. There are fabulous little stories, creepy ones, illustrated graphic novel-type ones, and a couple funny ones. Lemony Snicket, Kenneth Oppel, Jerry Spinelli, Avi, Gail Carson Levine, Neil Gaiman, Lane Smith & Jon Scieszka, etc. Many names I recognize, but cannot place what they wrote wit...more
If you’re looking for a book to read aloud to your kids (or your classroom!) during Halloween time, this is the one to pick up. It includes various genres, such as short stories, haikus, comics, limericks, etc. Also, with monsters under the bed, possessed toys, alien parents, ghosts, and a handful of other things, Half-Minute Horrors pretty much covers all the bases for creepiness.

Kids will love this book--maybe boys in particular, but don't all kids love scary stories? And these are so short that there's not time to get really scared during the individual stories, so I think these might be mom-pleasers as well. Some of them are just weird, some have funny surprise endings, some are gross, and some are really pretty creepy, sort of mood pieces. Very nicely done, though, adn man, look at the talent in this sucker! Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates and on and...more
This is a collection of short spooky stories from authors such as Neil Gaiman, Libba Bray, Pseudonymous Bosch, Melissa Marr, Holly Black, and many many more. Some are just illustrations, others are in comic book format, some are poems and most are just quick shorts. This is a quick read and I would recommend it highly to any readers (and especially reluctant readers) ages 9 to 13 year olds that enjoy scary stories. There are a couple of stories that I just didn't "get", but it just might be me b...more
Really for older children... maybe not even for children even though they really like it and beg me to read them more. A collection of very short horror stories by various authors (some lasting 30 seconds and others 1-3 minutes).
This is a horror book, without the gory details. I thought it would be cool to read a few during the Halloween season. To me the stories are scary and some awful (not because of the writing but because of the scary content). I guess I'm not a horror story lover. I give i...more

For those children that can handle it, this books is ton of fun!!! But. . . .
WARNING!!! This book may not be for children under the age of 12 or anyone with an overactive imagination. Some of the stories are downright horrifying and jaw droppingly inappropriate for a younger audience even though it is suggested to be for ages 8-12. This book would scare the crap out of most 8 yos I know. The babysitter story was enough to keep me from giving this to a friend of mine with a 10 yo boy.

This was a deliciously creepy book. The stories, which most can literally be read in half a minute, are often incredibly scary, some are funny, others just weird. Middle schoolers, even some high schoolers will truly enjoy this terrifying read. They'll recognize many of the big name authors that contributed to the book - which will increase its appeal as well.

Just as the title suggests, each story can be read in 30 seconds or less. This is a collection of super short scary stories that range from the silly, such as Vladimir Radunksy's A Disturbing Limerick to the truely terrifying like Lemony Snicket's Something You Ought To Know. Some of my favorite children's, young adult and adult fiction authors have bite size frights in this collection. Some of my favorites are Libba Bray, Joyce Carol Oats and Margaret Atwood.

Exactly what it says on the tin. A collection of a whole lot of very, very short, creepy stories. Some of them are, indeed, very creepy. Neil Gaiman's, for example, and the Lemony Snicket story. Some of them are a little more silly, intentionally and unintentionally. It's about 125 pages, and the stories are incredibly short, so it's a very fast read. But probably the best use of this book is to read one or two stories at a time, right before bed, to give yourself a good chill. It would also be...more
