Beware of shadows bearing gifts…A young girl’s dollhouse comes alive at night, and its tiny residents possess a terrifying power.

A special gift, wrapped in black paper and tied with a blood red bow—just waiting for you to open it and see what’s inside…So go ahead, untie the ribbon, peel away the shiny paper. Give it a little shake. Is something moving inside? As you lift the lid, you see two glowing eyes and a mouth filled with shark-like teeth.Then you realize you’ve been misled... It’s not a present for you after all.Before you even have a chance to scream, the monster claims its gift—you.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anyone who regularly follows my reviews (all two of you) are probably getting tired of seeing yet another five-star review of a Scare Street offering. Be that as it may, quality will always earn accolades and these Scare Street series are quality stuff. The authors featured in this book demonstrate a particular skill in turning everyday experiences into something horrific. The demons and monsters that stalk us are anywhere, just waiting for that unsuspecting soul to wander into their realm. As one reads these stories, you just know something nasty is going to happen. The fun is that you don't know when or where, or at the hands of whom, said nastiness will occur.
Sara Clancy gives us yet another serialized novelette, this time involving a group of amateur paranormal investigators checking into a seriously haunted Las Vegas hotel. What could possibly go wrong?
Go ahead. Dive in headfirst. You won't regret it.

Oh good heavens - I never think the next book can top what I have read, but I was wrong. These stories were some of the very best that I have read from Scare Street. I was hooked! I started reading, and didn't stop until the book was complete.

Get ready for stories that will leave you breathless, and looking at some of the objects in your home with distrust - you never know where evil will lurk....

Fabulous as always!
