Nine short stories (six previously published and three brand-new ones) showcase Coville's versatility in writing engaging stories about subjects odd and eerie. By turns creepy, funny, and thought-provoking, these atmospheric tales run the gamut from mystery and sci-fi to fantasy and horror. This volume has broad appeal for middle-grade readers; the stories would also make fine read-alouds.
