City of the Dead: Stories

by Sharon Stewart and Ana Huang

The Egyptian god of death lurks in neighborhood streets. The replica of a sphinx comes to life and takes vengeance on a predator of street kids. An ethereal presence types messages on a home computer screen. These are among the spirits that animate the stories in City of the Dead.

Just when you thought you'd read it all....

Sharon Stewart has produced a fabulous collection of stories of the super-natural world. If she wrote a few more books with ten stories in them, this would be an excellent TV series. Don't be discouraged by the morbid title, only some of the stories are remotely scary. Stewart gives the reader a world of wondering and the ones that passed before us.

A journey into the supernatural...

This collection of ten short, spooky stories is guaranteed to keep you up at night! Here are the titles: Dog Days, Trojan Horse, Call Me, The Village, Cade, Dingbat, Lucky Seven, Hooked, Flying Toasters, City of the Dead.Stewart has capitalized on computers, viruses, and the unknown for many of her stories, inviting readers to believe the things she writes about *could* happen. She also writes about ghosts, ancient beliefs, and human transformations. Stewart's style is very readable, and the suspense created in each story (a few of them have twists at the end) will keep your attention. A great book for teens and adults!
