Somewhere so cold and sinister couldn't be anything else. So she's not surprised to find that someone was murdered in it. Not surprised, just scared out of her mind. She's also sure someone's watching her. Following her. Making creepy phone calls. Martha's pretty certain that this Halloween is going to be the scariest of her life and possibly her last...April Fools by Richie Tankersley Cusick: Frank thinks he's King of the Fools. This is his day. So when he and his friends get cut up by some hotshot driver...well, fair game.

But April Fools' Day is over and these jokes are for real...Blood Sinister by Celia Rees: The old, leather bound diary is just a diversion for Ellen at first. Sent to rest at her grandmother's house, she begins reading to take her mind off her mysterious illness. For no one knows why she's so pale, so bloodless...But the bizarre history that unfolds is so compelling, so strangely tangled up with her own life that Ellen begins to feel even more drained than before...could something be reaching across the centuries to claim her, bleeding her dry...?

Reviews

[Book Addict Shaun · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remember taking this book out from my local library again and again and again. It would have just been easier to buy a copy but there was just something about the stories that made me want to read them over and over again for some reason. I must seek out a copy of this book one day, either that or look around the teen section at the library to see if they still have the actual copy I used to lend.
