A Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List Selection "Clever and
harrowing." --The Wall Street Journal "Into the finest tradition of
storytelling steps Christian McKay Heidicker with these highly
original, bone-chilling, and ultimately heart-warming stories. All
that's needed is a blazing campfire and a delicious plate of
peaches and centipedes." --Kathi Appelt, Newbery Award honoree and
National Book Award finalist "These tales are not for the faint of
heart. And once you start, you cannot stop until you've reached the
end...Terrifying and wonderful. A nightmare book you'll want to
return to repeatedly."--Betsy Bird, Fuse8 Productions "A weird,
creepy and thoroughly entertaining romp for readers of all ages!
Highly recommended!"--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times-bestselling
author of Rot & Ruin and Mars One "Heidicker has written the next
Watership Down."--New York Times-bestselling author Jessica Day
George "Gather around this collection of finely written stories
that will raise your hackles and tingle your whiskers. But reader,
beware. The dangers within this book are very real. Fortunately, so
is the bravery of foxes."--Matthew Kirby, Edgar Award-winning
author of Icefall and The Clockwork Three "[F]or a certain type of
reader--those lost in a battered copy of Alvin Schwartz's Scary
Stories to Tell in the Dark--this is exactly the kind of book
they're hunting for... [A] chilling roller coaster of a
read."--Booklist, Starred Review "Dark and skillfully distressing,
this is a story for the bold."--Kirkus Reviews
