Back-Pocket Tales: Once You Open the Door

By Anthony Mays

Back-Pocket Tales: Volume Four invites readers deeper into the shadowed places where curiosity turns dangerous and ordinary moments slip into the uncanny.

In these eight chilling stories, abandoned tunnels whisper to those who listen too closely. A simple key unlocks far more than a door. A strange piece of music follows its owners long after the final note fades. A hidden mask brings justice from beyond the grave. And quiet towns reveal that their darkest secrets were never truly buried. Each tale blends suspense, mystery, and just enough supernatural dread to leave young readers glancing over their shoulders.

Perfect for readers ages 10-15 who love being frightened-but not overwhelmed-Volume Four delivers eerie atmosphere, clever twists, and unforgettable endings that linger long after the final page. These are stories about the price of curiosity, the danger of unanswered questions, and the thin line between the safe world we know and the one waiting just beyond the dark.

Once again, Back-Pocket Tales proves that the smallest stories can cast the longest shadows.
