Description: If you have five minutes, you have enough time for terror. Eighteen stories--each one illustrated with a creepy drawing--feature ordinary kids in the most extraordinary circumstances. See what can happen when wishes come true, when you go to mysterious places uninvited, or break certain rules.

  Evil can take many forms, from a kindly old doll maker and a beautiful antique mirror to sinister black buttons and the science class skeleton. A haunted videotape brings a horror film to life. A visit to a carnival turns into an "out-of-this-world" experience. Hungry crows take revenge on a young scarecrow-maker. You'll be shaking in your shoes when you see what can happen to somebody just like you!
