You grew up on scary stories. Now it's time for something that actually scares you.
There was a time when all it took was a flashlight, a dark room, and a creepy little story to send shivers down your spine.
But some scary stories are over almost as soon as they begin. A strange sound. A spooky stranger. A final-line jump scare. Everyone laughs, the story ends, and five minutes later you've forgotten it.
These aren't those stories.
These are stories meant to be told.
Ten original tales written specifically for the campfire, where the darkness around you becomes part of the story. You'll find haunted places, impossible creatures, terrible secrets, things lurking where they shouldn't be-and stories that don't necessarily end when the last sentence is spoken.
Some will make you look over your shoulder.
Some will make you question what you just heard.
And some may make you think twice before closing the book.
So gather around the fire. Turn down the lights. Read aloud.
And whatever you do, don't assume the person telling the story is the only one listening.
