Once again, Damien Graves presents three bone-chilling stories, perfect for any stormy night.

Lauren has never been popular. Actually, she doesn't really have any friends. But all that is about to change, or so she hopes, when she gets a computer for her birthday and a couple of free magazines. Now she can log on the forum that all the cool kids go to and introduce herself to all of her classmates. But when that backfires and she takes on a new identity, her life is now in jeopardy.

All best friends, Craig, Brian, and Emily wanted to do was see their favorite basketball team play. They had the tickets to the game already, just not the money to pay for the train that will get them there. What else is there to do but hitch a free ride on the train, without getting noticed, of course. But once they are on that special train, they will soon find out that it doesn't stop for everyone.

Alexis always wanted to become an actress, and when she finds out that her drama teacher will choose two people to go to a theater workshop, she's psyched. Her theater teacher is looking for the two greatest actors in the winking game for the workshop. Unfortunately for Alexis she can only die and not wink. But she will soon develop a wink that is to die for.

LIAR is another collection perfect for any sleepovers or just for those who don't mind wetting their bed. Fans of the GOOSEBUMPS books will want to grab themselves a copy of this title and the entire series.

Authors: Damien Graves
Title: The Midnight Library #5: Liar
Genre: Horror and Mystery
Awards: None

Description:
Every book contains 3 stories. In the first story Lauren wanted to be the popular kid so she decides to lie about who she is on the internet to make friends but when she decides to stop her lie comes back to haunt her.

In the second story a group of friends decide to sneak into the train since they couldn't pay for it but the train doesn't stop for them

In the third story Alex always wanted to be an actress but when the drama teacher decides to bring two people to the theatre workshop so Alex practices her dying act so she can come with the teacher to the workshop.

Evaluation:
I didn't like the last story because I wonder if the drama teacher doesn't know what they do during class and she decides to judge who will come with her with one game. What if the person wasn't so good at acting like she/he was dying?

Liar - Lauren is shy and friendless. She creates a fake identity on the internet and manages to find friends by lying about who she is.
Tickets Please - A group of friends sneak onto a train because they forgot to bring money but there is something strange about the train they are on.
Killing Time - During a game of wink murder, a girl dies for real.It seems like she might have been murdered by a bully who gave her a poisonous sweet.

This is just gripping and an excellent find for horror-seekers. I fancy the dark writing style adopted by the author, and the way all, the stories end... Ghastly, with no "...and they lived happily ever after." Thrilling and goose flesh-inducing.
