4-6Scary Tales series.
Illustrated by
Iacopo Bruno.
These two horror novels for middle-grade readers cover the legend of Bloody Mary (Home) and a terrifying amusement park ride (Scream). While the writing and plot construction are nicely targeted to a young audience, there are genuinely terrifying elements in both that make these a good match only for readers who are seeking a true scare. Review covers these Scary Tales titles: Horm Sweet Horror and I Scream, You Scream!.
