BUYING ADVISORY: HS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
These authors offer a variety of realistic and supernatural stories that happen through the night -- that mysterious time when anything can happen as the rest of the world dreams. Some stories are fun and bright, and others are tragic and heavy -- either way, you’re in for an adventure.
All of these authors bring their best to these pages. While working within the confines of a short story, each author made me care about their characters and hope for the best. I celebrated the coming togethers and mourned the falling outs, riding each story with no desire to stop. Please don’t make me choose a favorite because each story had unique elements that had me wishing for the next chapter. The mature content rating is for underage drinking, innuendo, and mentions of drugs and masturbation.
