    About this audiobook

    In this collection of spine-chilling tales, a doll comes to life and haunts a little girl, a young writer only has one hundred words to let others know about an approaching danger, and a boy is trapped in an underground bunker with spooky people who have been missing for years and years. With writing prompts and discussion questions to continue the fright, you'll be spooked long after you finish reading.
