INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Stine, R. L.

Nightmare Hour

(4) 4-6 Each of these ten horror stories is introduced by the author and accompanied by a spooky black-and-white illustration from a different artist. The collection includes a few formulaic, weak entries, but in general the short story format suits Stine's particular talents, allowing him to create some punchy, effective tales with neat twist endings. "I'm Not Martin" and "The Black Mask" are two of the standouts.
