This horror collection
◆ A story of a real estate agent who checks on a potential house for sale that has a very creepy past. Something is not right about the old property; something unseen and evil lurks within.
◆ Little boy Billy is a happy lad but he can't help but feel as though something is "with him" everywhere he goes. Whatever it is hides in the darkness of his shadow and only shows itself when it needs something.
◆ Open your eyes and you find yourself in a strange, cold room; a room you have never seen before. You cannot move, but the people scurrying around you don't seem to care. Where are you and why does this all feel so very wrong?
◆ Zoe and her teen friends were at the lake. It was supposed to be a calming, relaxing and fun time. But the lake held a secret and that secret was about to reveal itself to Zoe...one cold night by the lake.
◆ Charlotte wasn't a bad person; she just had issues. The staff at the hospital thought she was a pain but it's not like she planned for all of this. She certainly didn't plan for what was about to happen.
◆ Poor little Sally; she suffered from a very rare birth defect. She was slower than all the other kids but that didn't make her a victim. In fact, people feared her. She was very protective of her family...VERY protective.

Wasn't a fan of these short stories. They were nonsensical and not creepy at all. The last story was especially bad: about a two year old baby who was born blind but who could also watch TV and write... ?

First of all I want to talk about the creepy eyes in the title page of each story! They will haunt me forever, I had to keep covering them up at the start of each new story. I'm pretty sure the image of those eyes are burned into my retinas 🥹.
Anyway to my review, I love scary stories to tell in the dark and Horowitz Horror etc so when I saw these I knew I needed them..and so my husband got me them for Christmas.
The book itself contains six stories by various authors. We have creepy shadows, old houses, dead bodies etc etc.
The book is aimed at teens... I'm 30 and was creeped out.
Pretty good overall.
