Roberta Simpson Brown is known by fellow storytellers as the "Queen of the Cold-Blooded Tales" for good reason. Her chilling stories are set in familiar, contemporary settings – family rooms, farms, campgrounds – with an undercurrent of something very, very scary pulling the reader into the undertow of terror. The title of the lead story, "Skin Crawlers," is most descriptive of this entirely original collection of stories from Roberta, who wrote them in response to numerous requests from teachers and librarians for tales scarier than those found in most school library collections. These haunted legends will give you chills! They're perfect for Halloween or a late night fright with snacks. Readers will learn the importance of respect, fairness and sharing.
