This review is from: Bones: Terrifying Tales to Haunt Your Dreams (Paperback)

Once again, Lois Metzger has edited a cool and creepy collection of short stories by some of your favorite authors.

With yarns spun about ghostly texts and creepy letters, spirits looking for their dismembered body parts and bones that are free to dance about, you may want to keep the lights on for these bone-chilling reads.

What about if a three-eyed man came into your life? What if you wanted to be taller? What if your dad built skeletons for a job? Those are the stories that will make you look at everyone a bit differently, starting with those in your own family.
