Afraid of Everything [Tierney, Adam]
What kind of scared are you? Find out in these fun one-page horror stories for young readers based on a range of phobias from arachnophobia to zoophobia! As the sun goes down, grab a group of your closest friends and huddle together under a blanket, reading by flashlight, frozen with terror at every creak and snap you hear throughout your house! These tales of fear, dread, risk, and doom contain all the classic elements of horror that young fans crave without the gore. Features 26 creepy short stories, each based on a different A-to-Z phobia and accompanied by a unique illustration. Read fun and scary tales about frigophobia (freezing), lygophobia (shadows), melissophobia (bees), scopophobia (being watched), and many more! Also included are 11 bonus stories featuring art by Temmie Chang, Mariel Cartwright, and Ko Takeuchi, plus a section detailing the origins and development of the stories and art.
