(3) 4-6 Scary Tales series. Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. In this sixth genuinely scary installment, twin brothers Chance and Lance don't have much at home in their Texas shack, but they like exploring the nearby swamp. When they find an unusual egg and bring it home, bad things ensue for the twins and their neighbor as a swamp mother searches for her baby. Gray paper and inky-black illustrations add to the spookiness.

(3) 4-6 Scary 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.
