A book to give you GOOSEBUMPS. The most TERRIFYING horror book for the BRAVEST of kids. Are you game?

EVER GET THE FEELING THAT NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS?

A dead best friend... with a NOT-SO-DEAD body.

A strange humming noise that doesn't just annoy you, but DRIVES YOU MAD.

A funhouse where the mirrors reflect a TERRIFYING OTHER VERSION OF YOU ... that wants to take your place.

A supermarket where the customers are shopping for YOU.

Old family videos that instead of a comforting past, play a SINISTER FUTURE.

Each of these short stories takes the familiar and twists it into something that will intrigue, unnerve, and haunt you.

You'll never look at your neighbourhood the same way again.

From the author of Archives of Despair comes Horror in Pleasantville - Stories from the Archives - with gruesomely good stories to keep you up at night. Do you dare to face your fears...? Or will you stay in the dark?
