Tales from Lovecraft Middle School #2: The Slither Sisters

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School #2: The Slither Sisters

By Charles Gilman

The Slither Sisters is the best book yet in the Lovecraft Middle School series. Professor Gargoyle was really good but this one is even better! Robert Arthur is back with his best friends; his old enemy Glenn Torkells, a ghost named Karina, and a two-headed rat named Pip and Squeak. They found out that the Price sister who mysteriously disappeared in the first book and came back are now monsters/snake people in disguise as both Sarah and Sylvia Price. All the monsters at the haunted mansion have hatched a plan to kidnap each and every seventh grader one student at a time and convert them into monsters and it's Robert Arthur and his friends job to stop them. The only question is. . . how? It's a outstanding book with lots of surprises on each page. The author's descriptions and illustrations help you make your own monsters in your mind. No matter how frightening the cover may seem, the book inside is amazing and not scary at all. My favorite part in the book is in the last chapter and it's counting down to it the whole book. I recommend this book to everyone who likes fantasy and suspense. I can't wait until the next book comes out!

Yeah it looks creepy but if you haven't read it yet then you know nothing at all. Read the first book first then you'll fall in love with the series. I promise.

Doll in the Garden : A Ghost Story

Doll in the Garden : A Ghost Story

By Mary Downing Hahn

It's genuinely spooky and beautifully written, and includes some great commentary on losing someone you love and the grieving process. This is one of my go-to books when a child wants a scary book to check out, and one that I will keep re-reading every few years.

By Tonya Hurley

All Charlotte wants is to be liked. She is a social outcast that is desperate for someone, anyone to at least notice her. Throw in Charlotte's crush, a gummy bear, Physics class, and that's the end of Charlotte as we know it, literally. At the end of Physics class, Charlotte unbelievably chokes on a gummy bear just when Damien her crush, actually notices her. Tragic, isn't it? Well, she ends up in "DeadEd", a class for dead students to "graduate" which simply means to move on. This book is an amazing story of the constant struggle for popularity, and the lengths we'll go to achieve that. Hurley's debut novel really amazed me. It seemed really ironic in the beginning, but as the story progressed I became more engrossed with the story. I love the illustrations, and especially the cover. The story was actually really thought-provoking with a dark twist. Overall, I really liked it, and I can't wait to read the whole series. Lastly, I think this is quite a mature read so I would recommend this to 14+. ~ifeelbookish

I love scary stories but not reading them at night time.

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

By Maureen Johnson

Honestly, this book was great, but it violent and slightly disturbing. It got weird at the part where the person fixed the video feed and replayed the history. It showed the victim getting chased by an invisible person and being slashed to death by a ghost. Alright, now to the plot: Rory arrived at a boarding school in England the same day that the Jack the Ripper reenactments started. Rory almost chokes to death and then she can see ghosts. The new serial killer turns out to be a ghost. She sees him one night before he murders someone and then she becomes his next target. A ghost kills him with a weapon that destroys them both right before he kills her. The end :/

Encyclopedia Horrifica: The Terrifying TRUTH! About Vampires, Ghosts, Monsters, and More

By Joshua Gee

I loved this book! It was scary, but the writing style added a fun aspect to it, so that you wouldn't be too afraid when you finished. There was a part where, on Friday the 13th, the writer goes out with his shirt buttoned unevenly, walked under a ladder, crossed paths with a black cat, spilled salt, and so on to see if anything would happen! I won this book in a summer reading program at my local library, and I have been reading and re-reading it. Very fun and cool. :)

This book is great for anyone who enjoys books that have supernatural aspects to it. This book is about a girl, Elena and a vampire Stefan. They both share a relationship towards each other. However, Stefan's older brother Damon comes into the book and that is where it leaves off. Overall, I love this book and all of its qualities.
