Disturbing.,
By "diamondsandtoads" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruce Coville's Book of Nightmares: Tales to Make You Scream (Paperback)
I was ten when I read this book. I'm 13, now, but am still haunted by the story 'Drawing The Moon'. I have never read anything more disturbing in my life. I don't really care as much about the other stories, although they were quite good, but if you want to be seriously disturbed and disquieted, read 'Drawing The Moon'. Seriously, now I am afraid of the moonlight. To really get the story, you have to look at it a certain way, and really think about it. The other stories were very good, but not really that scary or anything. I liked the first one by Bruce Coville, it was descriptive and imaginative, giving creativeness to the old yarn of what's under the bed. The one about Death driving the school bus was also an excellent story. I think it's in that collection, I have't read the book for a long time.

A Great Book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Bruce Coville's Book of Nightmares: Tales to Make You Scream (Paperback)
Bruce coville has a knack for writing scary stories that are fun to read. Many of the stories in this book really suck you into them. I applaud the all the authors on their creative and imaginitive stories. Some of the best stories are "Give a Puppet a Hand"
"Death's Door", "Halloween Party", and "The Fat Man".

This is a very good book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bruce Coville's Book of Nightmares: Tales to Make You Scream (Paperback)
Hello, I am 12 years old and have just finished reading this book. I think it is the best of all the books in Bruce Coville's "Book of..." series. My favorite was Drawing the Moon. It was very creative and descriptive just like all the others. My 2nd favorite was The one by Bruce Coville. It was great, and as I read it, I thought "How does he come up with this stuff?" I will recommend this book to anyone who likes getting scared and who loves to read for fun! ALL the other books, Book of Magic, Monsters, Spine Tinglers, etc. are also very good!
