With tales that range from the disturbing to the downright gruesome, this is one collection that teens will want to read with the lights on . . . and the doors locked.

Criticize Containing Books All Hallows' Eve

Read the first three stories, was bored.

Short horror stories often feel compelled to include a twist ending, and with that expectation, so many of them can fall short. This is amplified even further in YA fiction, which often goes for the jugular in predictable, movie-inspired ways. Nonetheless, Vande Velde's collection of Halloween tales was unexpectedly satisfying- the macabre, "Tales from the Crypt" sensibility running through many of them felt genuinely dark and at a few times even unsettling for real. Definitely a nice way to

For writing horror stories, VVV has the touch! Her tone is an unmistakable blend of grim humor, Roald Dahl nastiness, and real scares, plus just a touch of heart sometimes.In this collection, I most enjoyed Best Friends (fun in a catty way, with an unreliable narrator), When My Parents Come to Visit (funny and painful), and My Real Mother (delightfully evil). I also liked the short pieces Come In and Rest a Spell and I Want to Thank You. I didnt care for Morgan Roehmers Boys or When and How,

A decent collection of Halloween themed stories. I didnt find any of them properly scary and I honestly doubt a teenager would either. Theyre the kind of stories little kids tell to scare each other, each with a twist at the end. The writing wasnt bad, it just tended to be predictable and the endings didnt quite pack the punch I expected. I think its because they lacked a lot of the atmospheric elements that are required to make a horror story scary. You have to feel as if youre actually there

A truly spooky collection of short stories with twists at the ends of each one that will send a chill down your spine. Vivian Vande Velde is an expert when it comes to creepy stories. If you like these stories, be sure to check out the rest of her books.

With tales that range from the disturbing to the downright gruesome, this is one collection that teens will want to read with the lights on . . . and the doors locked. Uh, who wrote the blurb? I mean, I'm not saying the stories were terribly written or no one would enjoy them (they're not and I'm sure some people do), but disturbing and downright gruesome is pushing it. The collection isn't really horror, it's filled with the kind of stories you tell little kids at a sleepover so they'll still

Velde knows how to scare! I don't even remember reading some of her work that was this scary. It has everything from undead serial killers, adopted vampire children, ghost parents, and more! Great Halloween read.
