<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: Dublin, Ireland: Little Island, 2012.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Nightmare Club is not for just ANYBODY. Only the spookiest, scariest stories get told at Annie's Halloween sleepovers―and if you can't take it, well, tough! <br /> <br /> You've heard of Dr. Frankenstein, right? Freaky guy who cobbled together a MONSTER out of bits of people―spare parts, you might say. <br /> <br /> Well, he's got nothing on Uncle Fraser, a lonely mad scientist who decides to build himself a friend. Like most mad scientists' experiments, this one doesn't go according to plan....<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Each book in this short, snarky, and slightly spooky series begins with a slightly different introduction by Graves in which she describes how the club works (friends gather to tell scary tales). The language and mood make these titles very similar to stories told around a campfire or by friends at a sleepover.<em> Help!</em> is about a boy with a teenage zombie brother locked in the attic, while <em>Mirrored </em>tells of a girl who switches places with her evil reflection. There are stories about a boy who gets turned into ham, a pet guinea pig that may have come back from the dead, and a Dr. Frankenstein-esque mad scientist. With the exception of <em>Mirrored</em>, none of the stories are particularly dark, so those desiring a truly frightening tale should look elsewhere. However, <strong>the lightly spooky nature of the selections combined with the brevity of the text and inclusion of illustrations makes this series a good choice for younger readers</strong> who aren't yet ready for R.L. Stine's <em>Goosebumps</em> (Scholastic) or Alvin Schwartz's <em>Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark</em> (HarperCollins). The narrator's interjections are similar to those in Adam Gidwitz's <em>A Tale Dark and Grimm</em> (Dutton, 2010)." --<em>School Library Journal</em></p>--Journal<br>
