Night Shift by Stephen King

“I am a slow reader and I sometimes bore from novels so I loved that this was many stories in one that I could read start to end in one sitting. I never got lost after putting my bookmark in for the night because they were short enough to get through the whole thing. I also love getting those creepy feelings that I do from scary story telling!” – Jill, Circulation

Night Shift is Stephen King’s first collection of short stories and is considered his best. It includes an array of creepy stories that do a great job keeping your attention and instilling a bit of fear. If you like stories that are scary or even a bit bizarre, this is a great choice!

Hide and Seeker by Daka Hermon

This quote hooked me immediately! “Out of the darkness, no more light, now it comes to steal your life. On this day you’ve sealed your fate, by playing what it loves to hate. Once you’re tagged, then you’ll know, the mark appears, it’s your time to go. Now you’re in the final count, it’s closer to the set amount.” – Traci, Kids Room
