One day, Kate hears voices while she's in the graveyard putting flowers on her grandmother's grave. It was her sickly mother's request; she fulfilled it before she went to school after her visit to her mother's hospital bed. Of course she just thinks that the whispers are someone talking, since the halls are really hollow and you can hear just about anything from the graves. Well, when the days pass by she starts to hear phone conversations that talk about things that haven't happened yet, so she goes and talks to her mom, who is recovering from her illness. That same night, though, Kate hears a phone conversation that reveals a terrifying future.

Justin has gotten brand new shoes because of some random `contest' at the sneaker store -- but what he doesn't know is that even though the shoes might be really cool, what they do is not cool at all. When some incidents happens, such as when Justin's neighbor's car is covered in yellow paint, he finds that the bottom of his shoe is covered in YELLOW PAINT!!! Then some days pass and he locks his shoes in his closet -- he's sure that someone has been taking his shoes and committing these unreasonable crimes. Then he figures out that it's the shoes themselves doing the crimes! When he's had enough of the shoes, he decides to take them to the dumpster and just throw them out for good -- but something very weird happens that might just put Justin's life in jeopardy!

Tim is over at his grandmother's house while his parents are away. He's exploring on a very nice warm day, and comes across a beautiful orchard full of apples. He's just sitting there, having a good time, when his neighbor comes out and tells him to leave. Furious, the neighbor comes barging into his house and tells Tim and his grandmother that if he's over at the orchard one more time they're going to have the worst time of their life. Tim gets so mad that the next day he goes over and does some damage to the orchard. After his satisfaction was complete, he took an apple and started munching on it. The next day, he feels sick -- and some very weird things start happening.

VOICES is a total thriller all the way to the end. These were three of the scariest stories I have read, and I give this book an absolute 5 stars!
