Reviews

[Dottie Bagwell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute anthology, but the writing seemed lazy at times.

[Jaclyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

A few great stories but not something that really stands out tbh

[Angie Titus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though I'm an adult, I love kids horror. However, these stories were a little too young for me. I think that beginning readers would enjoy them.
