4-6Scary Tales series.
Illustrated by
Iacopo Bruno.
These middle-grade horror novels focus on a possessed doll on a mission to become a real girl (Doll) and a supernatural video game so realistic it could kill you (Nightmareland). While the writing and plot construction are well suited for a young audience, there are genuinely terrifying elements in both books that make them a good match for readers who are seeking a true scare. Review covers these Scary Tales titles: Nightmareland and One-Eyed Doll.
