"Tales to Keep You Up at Night" by Dan Poblocki
I finally finished reading this one. I like horror and I happen to like books that a bunch of short stories in them. This has both of those.

This just might be one of those books that you let your kids read if they aren’t easily scared. Or maybe this…
