Review Praise for Beneath the Bed and Other Scary Stories (Mister Shivers #1): Selected by the New York Public Library as one of 2019s Best Books for Kids!* "Bralliers (The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond, 2018, etc.) strong horror chops translate well into this Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark-lite package for early chapter-book readers... Simplified spooks for the we-want-it-just-scary-enough crowd." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewPraise for Shadow in the Woods and Other Scary Stories (Mister Shivers #2): Selected by the Chicago Public Library as one of 2020s Best Books for Kids!"Brallier effectively repeats the screamworthy formula established in Beneath the Bed and Other Scary Stories (2019) to add a sense of familiarity to the foreboding... The abrupt, disquieting endings mix the creepy and weird with the genuinely terrifying, creating a nice balance as readers jump bravely between stories... Easy to read but definitely not easy to forget." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Doll in the Hall and Other Scary Stories (Mister Shiver #3): Selected by the Chicago Library as one of 2021s Best Books for Kids!Praise for A Walk in the Dark and Other Scary Stories (Mister Shivers #4): "With topics ranging from a bizarre hotel to a magical pen, the tales are reminiscent of scary stories told around a campfire...The illustrations provide an added level of suspense, mixing dark shadows and spooky characters to keep the excitement going.

The pipe shook and leaned away from the wall. John had told him he regularly scrabbled up such drainpipes -- how hard could it be? But then John was half his body weight, even after all the exercise Ash had been doing. Arms and legs wrapped around the clay pipe, Ash slowly shimmied upward. The rough surface scraped against his skin, rubbing his belly raw. Cables brushed against his back, and Ash hoped he wasnt about to be electrocuted. But the wires seemed dead, and he found gaps in the walls to push himself the last few feet. With a grunt he heaved himself over the low parapet, dropping on to the flat roof. Holding his breath and willing his heart to quieten, he heard a deep, threatening growl. The drainpipe rattled, then tore off the wall and smashed.
