I’m so excited about this collection!! As many of you know, some of my first experiences with horror were the classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books, so having a story included in an anthology of spooky tales for kids is genuinely a dream come true. My story, “The Bump,” is roughly inspired by the old nursery rhyme:
It’s raining, it’s pouring,
The old man is snoring,
He bumped his head and went to bed,
And couldn’t get up in the morning.
That stupid rhyme freaking terrified me as a kid. I’ve had a lifelong fear of falling asleep with a concussion and never waking up again, and that’s what I pulled from for my little urban legend.
About the book:
Forty-two authors have brought you another creepy collection of tales, sure to keep you up at night.
In this book you will find even more terrifying tales to haunt your mind. Cemeteries, spiders, gremlins, and ghosts – everything you fear the most. Just when you thought it was safe to turn out the light, Mother Ghost’s Grimm came back for round 2 of the fright.
Read…if you DARE.
*Ages 7 & up!*
