    About this ebook

    Things are not quite right in Neary Heights. People are going missing, garden gnomes seem to be multiplying, and Stan could swear he hears the pitter-patter of tiny feet behind him when he walks through the neighborhood. As Stan begins to wonder if these strange happenings are somehow related, all the garden gnomes take on screaming faces. Can he figure out what is going on with these nightmare gnomes before he it’s too late?

      SHARE THE FEAR!

      You are not alone. And I don’t mean that a creature lurks in the dark shadows of your bedroom. Or a slimy menace lives under your bed. (Although that might be true.) I mean, you are not alone in being afraid. Everyone is afraid of something. Every. Single. Person. Reading about other people’s fears in these weird tales, you might learn how to overcome your own.

      Or you might learn how to escape from zombie teachers attacking the school. Both are good things to know. Just be sure to leave the lights on while reading!
