With over thirty stories, from one paragraph to two pages, these are written to scare kids and adults alike from your favorite Young Adult authors. Holly Black, Neil Gaiman, R.L. Stine, and even James Patterson have written for this frightening anthology.
Not only are there short stories within the book, but there are also comic strips, poems, and even haikus and limericks included in the mix to creep under your skin.
Some art in the book is drawn for you to make your own interpretations. There is a collage of monsters, a Ouija board sending a boy a message of fear, even vengeful animal spirits. Each drawing is beautifully illustrated no matter the subject!
Stories vary from ghost children to evil alien parents, monsters under the bed to killer pets! Great for Halloween or any time, HALF-MINUTE HORRORS is short enough to fill anyone's attention span and is worth the read if you like a frightening tale!2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

My Son Loves This Book
My son doesn't like to read and he loves Halloween, so this was a great book for him. He can read a 2 or 3 page short story and then he really has to think about it to figure out what might happen to the characters when the story ends. Some of the stories are a little old (translation: scary, he's 9) for him, so I just pick out which stories I think he would like. So, the book will last him a long time. There are some great authors in here. Most he doesn't know yet, but some familiar names (Dan Gutman, Neil Gaiman) so he was already looking forward to reading those stories.
