The Children's Horror: Cursed Episodes for Doomed Adults
Keep watching. No matter how weird it gets, DON’T change the channel.
Imagination is a wonderful thing, opening doorways of creativity and possibility. But what about the other doors it can open? The ones revealing twisted passageways of corrupted innocence and unfathomable cosmic nothingness?
In an elementary school auditorium, on a TV set playing weird and sinister versions of today’s popular kids’ TV programs, YOU will experience the dark side of imagination firsthand. The Children's Horror is a themed short-story collection from horror author Patrick Barb that presents today's most-popular kids TV franchises through a darker lens. From cities controlled by dogs to possibly dead children acting as would-be heroes and from infant sharks to the strange fates of written-off sitcom characters, this collection offers must-read thrills perfect for a perfectly unsettling Saturday morning.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or a kid at heart, you’ve probably watched some children’s shows wondering what it would be like if things were a little different and a little darker. The time for wondering is over. Come, take a seat, the TV is on and the children have something they want you to see.

A creeptastic collection of short stories. The Children's Horror takes us into the realm of children's shows but they are a much darker and twisted version of their former selves.
Scary, weird, atmospheric, and strange. I loved the whole idea behind this of exploring the darker side of what could possibly lurk underneath certain children's TV programming. The stories take you on a dark and wild ride that leaves you holding on for dear life!
