Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into

Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into is a book of short stories by some of today's most popular authors, including Christopher Paul Curtis, Peter Lerangis, and Neal Shusterman. There are vampires, werewolves, ghosts... everything you could hope for in a collection of scary stories!

This was a good book! I liked all of the stories - they were creepy, but not too scary. It's fun to read one story at a time and come back to the book for something completely different! I recommend this one to anyone who likes horror, fantasy, short stories, and good authors!

Local News by Gary Soto

Local News by Gary Soto is a collection of 13 short stories about Mexican American kids living in California. The really cool thing about this book is that the stories are small snippets of the every-day lives of these kids. It was interesting to step into the shoes of kids who live completely different lives than me! The author also sprinkles in bits and pieces of Spanish words and phrases and includes a translation guide in the back. I liked this book a lot. The stories are all very short, so it was easy to read one or two at a time and come back to a brand new book!

The Rumplestiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde

The Rumplestiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde is a collection of short stories, all revolving around the tale of Rumplestiltskin. Each story follows the basic details of the classic fairy tale, but with some twists and turns. These stories are Vivian Vande Velde's way of trying to piece together how the strange events of the Rumplestiltskin came to be.

This was a great book! I loved each of the six stories! They were all similar because of the theme, but completely different in the characters and the events. I especially enjoyed the last story!

Prom Nights From Hell

Prom Nights From Hell is a collection of short stories by Meg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, Stephenie Meyer, and Lauren Myracle. Each of the stories focuses on some supernatural creature or event and is set during the night of prom. These five stories contain everything from vampire slayers to the grim reaper to a corsage that grants three wishes.

I bought this book the day I found out about it because I really like Stephenie Meyer (Twilight Series, THe Host). The short stories are all great! The only problem is that I wished each of the stories went on a little longer! It was easy to get sucked into the book!
