The Dead by Charlie Higson

5.0

Another great book in this series.

You will get so stressed out while reading this, and if you don't then you're probably a sicko yourself. If I were in these books, I would definitely be one of the kids who gets eaten right away, probably while I was huddled in a dark corner drenched in my own pee. These kids have 'nads of steel, even when they're terrified.

WARNING, do not read:

- While eating, because that food may end up going to waste after some particularly stomach-turning details about the sickos

- When you are alone in your house

- Right before bedtime, especially when you are alone in your house

- If you are in public places and don't want to be looked at oddly when you're making horrified faces and mutter-screaming 'GET OUT OF THERE!!' to your Nook

- At work during your lunch break (see above re: eating) because you are NOT going want to go back to work when you're in the middle of an extremely tense and stressful scene and you have to know if your favorite character makes it (because, with these books, who the hell knows).
