Some scary stories are more than just tall tales. This spine-tingling collection of TRUE terrors and haunting legends is perfect for Halloween—and thrills and chills all year long.This book is not for the faint of heart…but for those brave enough, a bone-chilling, globe-trotting adventure awaits.

Stine, this book is ideal for storytelling by flashlight around a campfire, throwing into a backpack to share at a sleepover, or—if you dare—reading alone under your covers.

- Come face to face with an island full of real dragons
- Hear haunting stories from history—from the “vampire epidemic” in New England to an epic (and gruesome) ship mutiny off the coast of Australia
- Puzzle over unsolved mysteries, from UFO sightings to whole cities that have simply … vanished
- Shiver at modern retellings of classic scary stories and urban legends—and learn the truth behind the terror.
