Story 10: "The Monster Maker" Two competitive boys, that are monster makers, compete to make the best monster until one of them gets a model that brings their monster to life. Now the monster is the monster maker.

Story 9: "The Hole in the Ground" What started off as a joke from the neighbor kids digging a hole and telling monster stories became a real thing. However, now no one will believe him.

Story 8: "The Bad Side" Imagine having your inner baddie come out for real? Only to cause mayhem

Story 7: "How to Change Your Life" If you find a self-help book with words to cast a spell to change your life... run... RUN AWAY! How the heck can you morph into a dog and don't remember how to read or at least remember what you just said minutes before? Silly rabbit! Tricks are for kids???

Story 6: "Bugs" Eww. I was dreading this story. I grinch like hate bugs. The fact that it ended up that the kid was not real and just a character in a horror movie is a nightmare in itself. Bugs spewing out of a pinata is my new fear now.

Story 5: "The Boy Who Heard Screams" Wow this one is super creepy. Stuck in a time loop and knowing the hearing that you heard was your own screams.

Story 4" The Ghost in the Car" The body swap of the ghostly kind. Miller was right about the ghost in the car and now his friend Paul IS the ghost in the car.

Story 3: "Skin" Need I say more? This wasn't scary to us. More like gross. A kid that just has his skin come off like a snake then realizes his parents can do that too. They can choose whose skin they want to wear. His dad had a closet full of different skin! Dad tells him "You can be whoever you want to be". They don't say where the extra skin comes from, but I assume they just keep the old skins they shed.

I read the first story to my kid titled "Welcome to the in-between". He actually like his first scary story. He loved that the main character was named Gabe. He will never look at a smart watch the same way again. He is excited for me to read the other scary stories to him.

There are 10 mini stories in this book.
