Horror for Newbies
Poojitha asked this question about The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story:
Is this book appropriate for a 12 year old with a high threshold for scary stories? Is there anything inappropriate in this book?
Hélène Touzé No, this book is not appropriate for a 12 year old unless you want your daughter to grow up traumatized and paranoid. No matter what kind of threshold…moreNo, this book is not appropriate for a 12 year old unless you want your daughter to grow up traumatized and paranoid. No matter what kind of threshold your kid has, remember that this is non-fiction, and as such, carries a different weight; as in : this really happened. These young women died in extremely violent ways. You can't close the book to make the horror stop, and to me, that is quite different from a fictional book.(less)
