Looking for something a little creepy? How about thirty tales of eerie places and spooky sites. Campfire tales and stories for lonely nights, don't shudder in fear without it!

Author: Various, retold by Robert D. San Souci

In the mood for a little something creepy? Then A Terrifying Taste of Short & Shivery is for you. This book features 30 different horror stories. It's full of monstrous Ogres from Japan, creepy creatures from Africa, ancient legends from England and ghosts from the world over. You'll find something to put a chill in your spine no matter how tough you think you are.

The Bottom Line

Each tale of terror is a quick read - usually between two and seven pages long. They're perfect for a bus trip to school, a camping trip with your friends or a quick read with lunch. If you're feeling mean you can sneak up to your little brothers bedroom door and whisper horror stories to him when he's trying to go to sleep. There are even pictures to go with the stories, which help bring the creatures to life.

A Terrifying Taste of the Short & Shivery Rating: 5

    "I'm an artist.  Lately I dislike what I have been doing.  It's got me down because that's what I want to do when I grow up.  Ill draw something then spot every mistake I have made and trash it." To all artists of any sort of art: I know what this feels like because I have been threw it myself a lot.  I'm going to tell you to keep the art you don't like.  If you are ever feeling this way go back and look at your old art, you will be amazed at how much you have improved over the years or even in a day.  Don't ever give up and keep at it no matter what :)

If you do not feel as if you were born into the right body, or if you simply wish you were the opposite gender, you should strive to make yourself happy. Religion and moral upbringing are the main reasons I believe people see something wrong with being trans*. i agree and also with people being gay or bi, religion says it's wrong or religious people say it's wrong. when if you in love with someone you should be allowed to be with them.
