OLDER FICTION
Sleator, William

Hell Phone

(4) YA When Nick buys a used cell phone, he's contacted by Fleck--a murder victim who uses him to escape from hell and steal a fortune, leaving Nick as the fall guy. Character development is secondary to the breakneck plot, but this thoughtfully structured horror tale offers a clear perspective on an ordinary kid sucked into a stomach-churning nightmare.
