(4) 4-6 Spine Shivers series. Illustrated by Neil Evans. This not-so-scary series has a boy haunted by a creature out of a videotape (think The Ring) and a girl trapped in a sinister Truman Show–like program.

Back matter includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and brief backstory for the supernatural events. Glos. Review covers the following Spine Shivers titles: Do Not Watch and Fade to Black.
