Fade to Black

(4) 4-6 Spine Shivers series. Illustrated by Neil Evans. This not-so-scary series has a boy haunted by a creature out of a videotape (think The Ring) and a girl trapped in a sinister Truman Show–like program. While the creep-factor may underwhelm die-hard horror fans, the suspenseful narratives will work for newcomers and/or reluctant readers. Back matter includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and brief backstory for the supernatural events. Glos. Review covers the following Spine Shivers titles: Do Not Watch and Fade to Black.
