"Reading like a mashup of Goosebumps and
The Twilight Zone with a healthy dose of
Black Mirror, this series... is a surefire hit for horror aficionados. Expect the shivers to last long after the final page is turned."--
Kirkus Reviews Praise for
Tales to Keep You Up at Night "
Tales to Keep You Up at Night is a delightfully wicked collection of bite-sized scares, with stories that are magical, strange, and downright unsettling--the perfect treat for a young reader looking for a properly spooky read."-Kate Alice Marshall, author of
Thirteens and
I Am Still Alive "This book is magnificently frightening! It is this delicious blend of old timey folktales and creepy weirdness that kept me riveted to every single page and then, as promised, kept me up all night. Absolute horror story perfection!"--Ellen Oh, author of
Spirit Hunters "Poblocki is the middle-grade Crypt Keeper, spinning yarns that are devilishly inventive and genuinely unsettling. This is the book to reach for during the witching hour."--Daniel Kraus,
New York Times bestselling author of The Teddies Saga
"Grab a flashlight and a blanket--this lives up to its titular claim... Alternating between Amelia's storyline and the contents of the book she's reading, Poblocki's delightfully constructed offering is somewhere between a literary matryoshka and an ouroboros as the vignettes twine perilously around each other, rewarding close readers and demanding rereads. It includes well-established genre tropes like creepy clowns and being buried alive, making it a fun distillation of elements from crowd pleasers by authors like R.L. Stine and Alvin Schwartz."--
Kirkus Reviews "The novel's framework, which alternates between Amelia's real life and the scary stories' contents, slowly builds tension, intricately weaving classic and supernatural horror elements to deliver an immersive experience drenched in ominous atmosphere."--
Publishers Weekly "... a masterful, hair-raising work, start to finish."--
