I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Aptly named I enjoyed scaring myself with [b:Half-Minute Horrors|6491459|Half-Minute Horrors|Susan Rich|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348056654s/6491459.jpg|6682867]. Although I didn't get all the stories I had fun. Scary fun. So far this is one of my favorite collection of short stories.
Even as a tween or grade-student, I wouldn't have been too impressed by this book. There were a few select stories or illustrations that I thoroughly enjoyed, but overall, it was more cheesy than spooky. I did find myself seeing the author's name and judging their skill as a writer based on their very small segments. In that respect, this book is an interesting (and speedy) read.

I've always thought the best horror writing was short and ended abruptly. Every story in this anthology is only a paragraph or two. It's aimed at kids but there are some spine tingling stories to be read for all ages.

A decent anthology for middle graders! As with any collection, not all stories are equal. Some stories were greatly handcrafted; others felt lackluster or a bit confusing.

A serviceable collection or short stories with a few standouts.
This is a collection of short spooky stories from authors such as Neil Gaiman, Libba Bray, Pseudonymous Bosch, Melissa Marr, Holly Black, and many many more. Some are just illustrations, others are in comic book format, some are poems and most are just quick shorts. This is a quick read and I would recommend it highly to any readers (and especially reluctant readers) ages 9 to 13 year olds that enjoy scary stories. There are a couple of stories that I just didn't "get", but it just might be me but overall there are a lot of stories that rate high on the "ewwww" scale. If you have a sensitive kid who really scares easily, then I would avoid reading this book.
