Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into/ Bones: Terrifying Tales to Haunt your Dreams

Bites: Scary Stories to Sink Your Teeth Into
 Bones: Terrifying Tales to Haunt your Dreams
    a flip book edited by Lois Metzger
                      
  Guaranteed to tickle your horror bone, here is the ultimate flip book of scary stories from familiar tween and teen authors and screenwriters. 14 stories are shared, seven each flip.

From the "Bites" Side you are forewarned with the following advise:
1. It's not enough to watch your back....Watch your neck too!
2. There isn't always honor among vampires.
3. Do not become the "guests of honor" at a vampire dinner.
4. Stay out of direct sunlight. At the very least wear sunblock.
5. Never remove the silver bullets from a dead werewolf body.
6. Don't steal...especially rare artifacts.
7. You can't teach a ghost dog new tricks.

There are seven stories about bites on this side of the book....but as the author states, " Sometimes, one bite is all it takes!
Read on at your own risk!

The flip side of this book is "Bones," the author lets you know that none of the stories really happened so the reader can relax and enjoy....except that the eye-witness descriptions are chilling and seem based in real events and happenings...so could it be that the goal is to lull the reader into a false sense of security???? Seven more stories of ghosts, hauntings, and stalkings so be sure to keep looking ver your shoulder, someone might be following you after all!

Included at the end of each flip side are bio trivia about each of the authors including their other works, horror or not. I especially liked these sections so that if the reader liked a particular story, the author is right there to recommend other titles that particular author has written. Great idea!

ISBN: 978-0-545-27651-1
