Review From A Frightened Kid

This book was THE scariest book that I have ever read! Every time I finished a story, chills would go up and down my spine and I'd jump at the next noise. The thing that made this book especially terrifying was that all these stories are true! I would definitely recommend this book to any kid or adult who wants to give himself a scare. READ THIS BOOK!

Frightful Fun

Do you remember as a child the heart pounding anticipation with which you sat through an episode of the "Twighlight Zone", or "The Outer Limits"? Remember how you couldn't wait for the next week's show? Reading The Scary States of America recreated for me the same feelings--the unease, the suspense, the tingling sensation that crawls up the back of your neck. I thought I'd read this book by meandering from "state to state" but instead I read it from cover to cover. Sharp and well-written, you'll want to make time for your own Scary States Marathon.

Scary & fun!

I just loved reading this book! The stories were wonderful. It's a great book to take along on a camping trip and read the stories aloud. I can't wait to share it with my freinds, young and old!

Creepy!

Scary States of America is one seriously creepy book. All 50 of the stories are check under the bed for monsters scary and very well written. Even more shocking - the author claims these are based on actual events. When I was growing up I loved these kinds of stories and I can't wait to share this collection with my kids. Not for the faint of heart - but your average 10 year old boy (and in this case 38 year old boy) will love this.
