Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Not to be read before bedtime, Horowitz Horror: Stories You'll Wish You Never Read, nine terrifying tales from Alex Rider creator Anthony Horowitz, are mostly set against the all-too-real horror of familial tension. From a cursed bathtub, to a seemingly possessed computer belonging to a dead man and given to a girl by her father, and a more exotic tale of a monkey's ear that grants dangerous wishes, this paper-over-board collection will keep kids up all night... wishing for daylight.

From The Critics
This book of wicked and strange short stories will bring fear and suspense into the lives of all who read it. Do not to open this book up and start to read if there is a tremendous thunderstorm exploding outside or if you find yourself alone in bed and the lights start to flicker off and on. Creepy things happen in this book. Harmless inanimate objects such as computers, bath tubs, and cameras bring horror and evil to the lives of the characters. Weird message appear on computer scenes. Characters die bizarre and unusual deaths. Nasty children disappear and are never found again in their true form. Look for evil at every corner and expect the unexpected as the reader turns the pages. The author, Anthony Horowitz, either has a depraved sense of humor or the most creative imagination on this earth. Of course, he could have both. This chapter book made an adult like me look at the world in a different way. I began to believe that soaking in the bath tub could leave me speechless and insane. Who would have thought that a delicious and succulent meal could be created from a rotten child? I would not recommend this book for younger readers because of the intense and mature content. I would put it in any library where readers are seeking a world of strange fantasy.

    Really, a scary book?

    Ok first of all, this book.is a rip off. They say scary stories you'll never want to read. Yeah i didn't want to read it. Why? Because it sucked so much. It wasnt scary at all amd none of these stories are interesting. I mean really? $11 for a 110 paged book, thats just a rip off. I would not gwt this book. No matter how imcredible Anthony Horowitz is, this is one of those things called a 'rip off'

    It Sucked

    This book is not horror. It was more like the kind of stories 12 and 13 year old tell at sleep overs. It was horrible Don't waste your money or your time.

    Good Book!!

    This is a good book. Obviously not for younger children, but still a great piece of writing. The stories are scary, but not enough to give you nightmares or anything. This is one of my personal favorites. I enjoy these kinds of books.

    Not Scary and Dumb

    The stories are dumb and not scary at all. They have no point and they didn't give me even one thrill of fear like Stephen King's books do. Don't buy them.

    Not so great...and not for younger children.

    First, only four or five out of the stories made sense. Those were Bath Night, Killer Camera, Harriet's Horibble Dream, The Man With The Yellow Face, and The Monkey's Ear. Some phrases in the book are not meant for young chidren to read. Some of the stories were so stupid I don't even know why I read them.
