Waiting on Wednesday (9)

I, feel like, a horrible person guys. See a while ago, or more specifically last August, I read a book. This wasn’t any normal, ordinary book though, it was a book of AWESOME! In my household if you can scare the pants off of any of us (without you know… an actual weapon) you become something like King/Queen of the House (You might have to watch Bones to understand the full concept of that). Except last August an author did it (with The Stone Child) and man did he do it well, and quite frankly I kind of miss the increased heartbeat that comes from the descriptions of creepy ass monsters, as well as the ability to make me scared of the dark even though I wasn’t even scared of it as a kid! Me and my mom have read a lot of horror stories, but I guarantee you when I told her Dan Poblocki was coming out with another one, we did a dance (Or I did a dance and she stared at me funny). However my dance, that equally represented us both said: We’re nerds and we like being scared BRING IT ON! And I think Dan’s response would be: OH It’s already been broughten! (Or maybe not, since you know, he’d probably use a word that’s actually… real.)

The Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki

Timothy July has a secret. And it’s giving him nightmares. Abigail Tremens has a problem. Her nightmares are haunting her…while she is awake. When they team up for a school project, they don’t realize that Abigail’s past and Timothy’s present are making them the target of a terrible curse. A curse that turns their worst fears to reality. But their fears are just the beginning. The curse stems from a strange artifact that gains strength by devouring a human soul. And it needs to feed again. Dan Poblocki has written another bone-chilling page-turner to give you goose bumps. It’s the kind of book best read on a bright afternoon…which may keep your own nightmares at bay.
