Scary Spooky Books for Teens The moon is low and full, blood-red, a wolf howls in the distance, someone or something cackles out of sight, and then shuffles across the ceiling … BOO! IT’S UNDER YOUR BED!!! Okay, we’re kidding. It’s Halloween, which, when you reach a certain teen age, no longer means what it used to: You’ve become too cool to ask for candy…and no way are you dragging yourself around in a silly costume. Suddenly, Halloween is more about exploring the darker, sinister side of the holiday -- if not yourselves. Running wildly through a dark, wooded area. Telling creepy stories and urban legends. Putting your hand inside a box with devil-knows-what inside. The point is to see how brave you are, or how long you can hold out before you scare the living daylights out of yourself. Speaking of scary, try these spooky, super-creepy tales!
