Spooky pick: Stories To Keep You Alive Despite Vampires

 

Stories To Keep You Alive Despite Vampires

by Ben Aker

Illusatrations by Scott Buonchistiano

Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

2022 

197 pages

ISBN: 9781665917001

A collection of spooky stories that is accessible for both young and reluctant readers. 

Vampires, hitchhikers, witches, a creepy ventriloquist's dummy, ghosts, and werewolves--author Ben Aker offers all the beasties that readers could want. The stories can be read in order or the reader has the choice to skip around as each story is its own tale. 

Reluctant readers will find easy, short stories that will entertain them and give them a sense of accomplishment for reading an entire book (as they are likely to do in the case of this book).

Spooky illustrations by Scott Buonchistiano appear at the beginning of each chapter and chapter titles make it easy for the reader to determine what the story is likely about. Highly recommended for reluctant readers and anyone who loves spooky stories told around the campfire or spooky stories told in the dark. 


Grades 4 and up.
