MYSTERY UNDERGROUND
ZOMBIE KING AND OTHER SCARY SHORT STORIES
By Charles David Clasman and David Anthony

Mystery Underground is a collection of scary short stories for kids, middle grade readers, and everyone who likes a good scare. The stories combine the monsters and mystery of Goosebumps with the surprise endings of The Twilight Zone. They are the perfect scary stories to read on Halloween, in the dark, around the campfire, or under the covers at night with a flashlight.

Be warned. This bloodcurdling book contains eight terrifying tales. Read a scare … if you dare!
