Summary

Get ready to scream with this collection of hillarifying--hilariously terrifying--tales, fully-illustrated and perfect for scary story lovers who are looking for a side of humor to go with their helpings of horror. Stop! Unless you want to be scared, do NOT read this book. These tales of terror are so horrible, so alarming, they had to be bound up between these pages forever! You'll discover The Boogerman, an oozing horror that lurks in mirrors. You'll read about Instagrave, a popular new app that tells kids how they are going to die. In Epizeuxis, you'll learn what happens if you speak the name of a--wait. We've said too much already. The things between these covers are too dangerous to ever be let out. That's why we're warning you: stay away from this book, or else! Of course, if you are reckless enough to open this book, then be sure to read these stories in a safe, indoor space, far from the beady, prying eyes of any birds*. Now, on the count of three: 1...2...3...SCREAM!
