Synopsis

Thirteen ordinary kids. Thirteen ordinary towns. Danger lurks around every corner!

Get ready for a collection of thirteen short stories that will chill your bones, tingle your spine, and scare your pants off.

The street sign down the block starts taunting you. Even your own shadow is out to get you! Spooky things love hiding in plain sight.

The everyday world is full of sinister secrets and these stories show that there's darkness even where you least expect it. Listeners will sleep with one eye open . . .
