This review is from: The Headless Roommate and Other Tales of Terror (Mass Market Paperback)

I am reading a book called THE HEADLESS ROOMMATE AND OTHER TALES OF TERROR. It has alot of scary stories such as the Baby-Sitter Night Caller. It is about a girl Lonnie who is baby-sitting the 4 year old twins Emillee and Cale. The phone rings an hour after Lonnie put Emillee and Cale to bed. The guy on the phone says, "You better check on the children," and he hangs up. She ran up and the children were........

If you want to know the ending, then i suggust that you read this book!

This review is from: The Headless Roommate and Other Tales of Terror (Mass Market Paperback)

This book gave me so many hours of happiness (and fear!)as a teenager -- scary to think that that was about 12 years ago. The stories are urban legends that you may have heard before, but updated for the time period in which it was written (mid-80's). There's a scary story about babysitting, one about going on a date, having roommates...you name the teenage experience, there's a scary story for it in this book. I remember reading this under the covers with a flashlight and being terrified -- there is plenty of gore to go around, but put within a real enough context that it will send shivers down your back.

I highly recommend this book to teenagers of today who may enjoy the R.L. Stine books, or to any of you Gen-Xers out there who want to relive a piece of your youth. Great book!!!!!!!!
