This book is rated for teen and pre-teen readers.
Tales from the Crypt. The Outer Limits. The Twilight Zone. Stories of horror,
science fiction and mystery have fascinated us for generations. The stories of
The Freakout Zone join this time-honored genre, and weave tales that will leave
you looking over your shoulder and second-guessing reality.
Dust Bunnies
Danny loves to play video games. It’s all he lives for. His mother is forever
demanding that he clean up his room, which is overcome with dust and is always
in a state of chaos. When the “dust bunnies” come to life, Danny must bring all
his video game fighting skills to bear in order to survive.
The Key Gnome
Melanie loses everything – her keys, her books, her shoes. But when she borrows
her Grandmother’s heirloom pin and it comes up missing, Melanie is determined to
find it – and change her ways. In the process, she meets her match – someone who
is just as bad as herself at losing things. Will this match turn out to be
friend or foe? Melanie must turn the tables before she loses more than material
possessions.
Animal Crackers
Are we really what we think we are? Are we really at the top of the food chain?
Joey Gaines sees everyone in his entire hometown transformed before his eyes,
and no one seems to notice or care except him.
Not Responsible
Brian, Samantha and Troy Maxwell are spoiled, rich kids. Their parents want to
teach them a lesson in responsibility, so they leave the teenagers to fend for
themselves in an unknown environment one weekend. Will the children rise to the
occasion and work together to meet their parents’ challenge? If they don’t, they
will be left out of the will and will not inherit their parents’ fortune. Or
will they find out that money isn’t everything, after all?
The Animist
Cheryl’s new baby brother Jeremy gets all the attention, and Cheryl is sick and
tired of it. She meets a strange old woman who offers her a magic amulet that
will help Cheryl enact revenge on this “unwelcome” addition to the family. But
Cheryl finds out she is in way over her head. When the magic spells don’t turn
out the way she planned, she must battle the Animist to save Jeremy.
