Spine Chillers by Q.L. Pearce - Book Review
Synopsis
The town of Saltlick
Bluff is famous for an urban legend. Does the spirit of a young girl
wait on a misty cliff-hugging highway for her ride to the prom? In the
house on Beech Street a terrible tragedy occurred. Now neighbors won't
look at the place as they pass. Those who live nearby draw their blinds
and shutter their windows after dark. What are they afraid of? Hale
Hallow Woods seems sinister and menacing even in the light of day. Does a
thirst for revenge beat near its dark heart? The answers lie within
these pages, just waiting to send a chill up your spine!

My Review
Spine Chillers is a fun collection of short horror stories that will
excite and thrill younger kids (I'd say 8-13 is the age range). I have
been a fan of the author since I was a kid, having collected her Scary
Stories for Sleepovers series books when I was younger (I still own some
of them as an adult, and I still love them). Spine Chillers amused me
and brought back the nostalgia I remember from when I first discovered
the books. This is a good set of stories that will send tingles down
one's spine, for sure. I just wish a couple of the stories hadn't been
as...silly, I guess. There were one or two I was a little disappointed
with, but that's just me. I'd recommend it to parents who want to
introduce their kids to tame horror, to adults who remember how fun it
was to be scared as a kid, and to kids who are looking for something
different to read. 4 stars.
