basement. Can the mighty Librarian help the girl defeat the horrors

Five amazing authors.
Five unforgettable stories.
In this exciting collection of paranormal tales, best-selling
authors Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), Kim Harrison (Once Dead, Twice
Shy), Meg Cabot (How to Be Popular), Lauren Myracle (ttyl), and
Michele Jaffe (Bad Kitty) take prom mishaps to a whole new level--a
truly hellish level. Wardrobe malfunctions and two left feet don't
hold a candle to discovering your date is the Grim Reaper--and he
isn't here to tell you how hot you look.
From angels fighting demons to a twisted take on getting what
you wish for, these five stories will entertain better than any DJ
in a bad tux can. No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good,
creepy fun.
Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror story--centered on the
birth of a baby who seems less than human--probes society's
unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David
Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic
bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While
around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that
their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world
outside--until the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely
goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and
violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he
grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him,
David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older
children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be
accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their
instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and
unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign
world.
Scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll believes every human has two minds: one

now updated for enhanced Common Core State Standards support,
including discussion and writing prompts developed by a Common Core
expert, an expanded introduction, bolded glossary words and dynamic
new covers."
Pirate Perdita: "I'm no one's damsel in distress." What would you
do if you had a dinosaur army, a spaceship, and the ability to
travel through time? If you happened to be a beautiful but cruel
villainess, you would probably take over the world. Or she would,
if Pirate Perdita wasn't there to steal her zombie-making jewel.
Now if only Perdita hadn't been kidnapped. Of course Mr. Ii,
Perdita's first prisoner, is trying to get her back. And eleven
year old Leander Jack? He's just trying not to die. Adventure
awaits in this multi-dimensional story, with dinosaurs, pirates,
zombies, time ships, space ships, and at the center, a jewel. Will
Pirate Perdita steal the Star of Bokor? Will Leander Jack be eaten
by bambiraptors? Will the prisoner Mr. Ii ever escape? And will the
zombie dinosaurs take over Earth, or will the band of pirates save
the day? Pirate Perdita is a juvenile fiction novel. It is written
at a fourth grade reading level.

Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length

In a strange house, "anything" might happen. In all the fairy tales
Hortense read, the houses were deliriously strange . . . and now
she was going to stay in one, with her grandparents!
It stood at the foot of a steep mountain -- three stories high,
with high, shuttered windows. Inside, the old-fashioned furniture
along the walls seemed to smile at her. A spidery staircase with
dark wood banisters rose steeply from one side and wound away out
of sight.
Later, a great tortoise-shell cat sauntered in while her
grandparents were talking -- about ghosts! "That cat . . . he
understands every word," Hortense said to herself with
conviction.
She began to be a little afraid of the cat . . . for everything
in the room disliked him, she sensed. The lowboy no longer smiled
but looked rather solemn and foolish. The chairs stood stiffly, as
though offended at his presence. The white owl on the shelf glared
fiercely with his yellow eyes, and the firedogs in the hearth
fairly snapped their teeth!
