Creepy crawlies, dark shadows, hideous monsters secreted under your bed... Bad Things is a collection of paranormal stories that will make your skin crawl and heart race. Do you sleep with the light on? Maybe you should...

They come at night
When the moon grows dark
To steal your treasures
And weaken your heart

An empty bed
Is all that remains
If the Bad Things decide
To visit again

Mommies take care
Watch your young as they slumber
For babies and children
The Bad Things do hunger

Check closets and attics
And under all beds
If the Bad Things come calling
You’ll wish you were dead.



“Scott!” I yelled.
Still nothing.
Then fearing he’d totally lost it, I screamed, “Damn it, Scott! Put me down!”
His head shook and he snapped out of it. Dazed at first, he almost whispered as he spoke. “Candy?”
“Put me down.”
He glanced first at his arms, then up at my face as if he hadn’t even realized he’d been carrying me. Without any sort of warning, his arms dropped, releasing his hold. Scrambling to land on my feet, I grabbed his shirt to steady myself.
His head careened forward and he whispered in my ear. “He’s still back there. I can feel him.”
I peered around him, and there at the edge of woods stood the silhouette.

“He’s there, isn’t he?” Scott asked.
I nodded.
His shaking hands fiddled in his pockets as he pulled out his keys. “We have to run. We have to get to the car and get out of here. Don’t stop and don’t look back.”
The shadowy figure took a step forward as I once again nodded.
I’ve never ran that fast in my entire life. Not before that night and most certainly not since. Gravel flew as he tore onto the road and as we sped away, I swear I saw the dark figure step out onto the road.
We didn’t stop at the first house, or the second. In fact, we didn’t stop for miles. Even if he’d wanted to stop, I think I’d have tried to talk him out of it. When we finally entered a less rural area, Scott said, “It got Dave. Must have taken him when we split up.”


It was only then that I realized Dave should have been in the car with us.

I received this book as part of a blog tour to give an honest review.

I have to say these were some awesome stories being told. To me they weren't scary but for those that are easily scared I would say read with your feet pulled up on the couch and let it be day light. I really how each story flowed into the next. 
I think teens would really enjoy this as it is perfect to read at night with your friends. I really enjoyed the poem that Willow put into the story it was awesome!!
If you like ghost stories and the paranormal give this book a try it is short and to the point of what is being told. You are not left hanging at all.
