Help! My Brother's a Zombie

(3) 1-3 Nightmare Club series. Illustrated by Glenn McElhinney. A Halloween sleepover at which each guest must tell a scary story sets up this series of self-contained tales. The author embraces the idea that things unseen are scarier than those described to keep the stories age-appropriate without sacrificing spookiness; a jaded, slightly meta tone adds levity. Jagged line illustrations on roomy pages complete the accessible packages. There are four other spring 2015 books in this series. Review covers the following the following Nightmare Club titles: A Dog's Breakfast, Guinea Pig Killer, Help! My Brother's a Zombie, and Mirrored.
