Home Sweet Horror by James Preller

3.0

To use a reference that would not work at all with kids, but might work with some librarians, this series reminds me most of the TV show Are You Afraid of the Dark? Each book in the series is completely episodic, featuring different characters and scenarios. The book design pairs very well with the text, adding additional atmosphere and scariness. Spiders crawl across the page, the edges of the pages are mottled gray.

The creep factor is high for the reading level, so this is one that will please your young fans of truly scary stories and it also might be good for older scary story fans who have lower reading levels. The ages of the characters varies; in the first book of the series the protagonist is 8 years old, in the second book the protagonist is 11.

This is definitely a good series to have on your radar for scary story fans!
