It doesn't take long for terror to strike! Five minutes is plenty of time to make your hair stand on end, your knees knock, and your bones grow cold. From a boy who invites an evil alien to a party, and a girl who discovers that she's baby-sitting a child that's not really human, eighteen horrifying tales with creepy illustrations feature ordinary kids--just like you--in chilling situations.

  Beware of a sinister shadow, a haunted high-rise, and a terrifying television set. See what can happen when neighbors are vampires, wishes come true, or revenge goes too far. Be warned, even though these spooky stories can be read in a few minutes--they may haunt you for a lifetime!
