Kids Are Hell! (Unabridged‪)‬

Whether it’s Legos left on the floor, small, sticky handprints literally everywhere, or refusing to eat anything remotely green, our children have been a constant source of angst since time began.


And yet, driven by that innate, primal instinct to replicate our DNA, we still have them—despite all warnings to the contrary.


We’ve compiled 22 terrifying stories of young hellions and kids out of control to keep you wide awake in the small hours and watching over your shoulder....


Here we have echoes of John Wyndham’s Midwich Cuckoos, Stephen King’s Children of the Corn, and so many more tales of child-driven terror—all of which serve as tales so cautionary against procreating, the Catholic church might just try to ban Kids Are Hell!
