The Hitchhiking Acrobat and Other Horror Stories

By Alina Leffel

THE HITCHHIKING ACROBAT AND OTHER HORROR STORIES tells four eerie tales of deception and death. In "A Murder," two children deal with the aftermath of their mother's mysterious death in a crow-infested motel. In "Lion," a young girl tries to convince her older sister that one of the topiaries in the garden is moving on its own. In "No One Will Know," three teenagers handle the consequences of a life-altering accident, and in "The Hitchhiking Acrobat," a troubled boy seeks solace from a kind stranger, who may not be all that she seems.
