Publisher Description
This fourth wall–breaking middle grade collection of spooky, scary, and spoopy stories for fans of Lemony Snicket and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark might just help you survive the night in a house full of vampires.
If you are reading this book, then you must be trapped in that spooky house with those vampires. Sorry about that.
But! You might just make it out if you manage to tell them one scary story each night in accordance with standard vampire rules. Don’t know any scary stories? Good thing you found this book! Every tale in this tome is true…more or less (more more than less).
You get a little bit of everything in this monster mash: from hitchhiking phantoms to women in white, a carnivore beast that loves a good vacation to a haunted mannequin with a bug problem, killer phones, concerned werewolves, you name it. Everything you need to keep those vampires on the edge of their seats—and well away from your neck.
But beware…don’t get too comfortable. Names have power, and if you whisper about too many things in the dark, they might just hear you.

Just in time for Halloween
Ben Acker gives us just what we need, some good, fun spooky stories! These are family friendly, funny, and spooky without being to scary for kids, but also not so kid-friendly that they aren’t enjoyable. I’d put this on the bookshelf among Ray Bradbury’s short stories, Ronald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, and the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark collection.
So before it’s time to send the little ones to dreamland and set your bedtime stories to spooky... Bolt the door, lock your windows, and steel yourself for this evening's final feature: Stories to Keep You Alive, Despite Vampires!
