These stories are profoundly disturbing. They are not appropriate for young readers. They are addressed to kids because adults are too callous to feel the fear and pain these stories trigger. But if you are young and you wish to peek into the dark side, to visit your fear and pain, then this book is perfect for you. It is not to be read at school. Your teacher would never approve. These stories are to be read at home-on dark nights-with just enough light to read the words. You don't have to read them alone. Bring a companion because the night will soon feel much darker. Welcome to the blackness.
