About this ebook
Terrors; it’s not always the monster in the bed that you need to worry about...
Dark Shadows: Sean Gilbert’s having his friends for a night of horror movies, but they’re woken in the middle of the night. When they realise it’s not Rusty the cat, they go in search of what it may be, only to find Rusty has beaten them to it. That’s when they discover that shadows aren’t as innocent as they seem.
Ne-Fairy-Ous: It’s Alyssa Graham’s tenth birthday and she’s having a party which all of the local “peasants” are invited. When one guest disappears into the forest behind her house and doesn’t come out, she and her friends follow to continue their bullying of her. But they’re met with a malevolent force they’ve never encountered before. And never will again.
A Rake Is Not Just a Garden Tool: Quinn Kingsley and his friends go exploring around the ruins of the local hospital for something to do on a Saturday afternoon. They go armed with bats and cameras because strange sounds have been heard from the ruins. As they walk around making their own “Attenborough” video, they soon find out the hard way that a rake is not just a garden tool.
Well, Well, Well...: Wynn Ellery is panning for gold for his twelfth birthday and his friends have come along for the ride. Once they have their fill of gold, burgers, and hotdogs, they trek across the river to explore the old prospecting ruins to see how the world has changed. But what they find is even older, and freakier, than they could ever imagine.
Elizabeth Wants to Play: Harlan and his cousin Levi want to show their friends around their grandmother’s house. It’s a home full of weird and wonderful things collected over decades, including all of the haunted toys in the basement who are having one continual tea party. But when one toy, in particular, wants to play with them, the boys have quite a demon on their hands, especially when she gets down and dirty.

Thump…
Crash…
Thud!
Sean Gilbert jolted awake, jerking upright on the sofa, his head bobbing on his shoulders like a nodding dog toy. Was that?
There were grumbles from his friends as they slowly woke around him. They’d all fallen asleep in the Gilbert’s family room while watching late-night horror movies.
Was what?
Liam Manfred asked, wiping sleep from his eyes and yawning. Ugh, what time is it? Did we even finish the movie?
He looked at the TV to see an infomercial. Aw, bum! It’s finished.
Yeah…I think we missed it.
Tanner Scott grinned so widely his jaw cracked. Ow!
His brows furrowed at the pain, and he rubbed the side of his face. Why are we awake?
There was a noise,
Sean replied, overcome with a yawn that was contagious as he saw his other friends yawning as well. He’d been having a sleepover with his mates Liam and Tanner, and Zack Coleman and Charlie Hart were there, too. It had better’ve not been the cat.
Rusty, the family’s tortoiseshell Persian, was sleeping peacefully in his bed of cushions at the side of the couch Sean was on.
Nope.
Charlie nodded at the cat. Not Rusty.
Guess we’d better check it out then.
Sean yawned a second time and managed to get to his feet. Ah, God, I’m not even awake yet. Who wants food?
He manoeuvred his way between his friends on the floor and walked into the hallway. Looking left and right, he saw no one and no thing.
The soft yellow glow of the wall sconces illuminated the hallway enough for him to see clearly, so he tiptoed towards the kitchen at the back of the house, flicking on lights in each room as he passed to see what the disturbance might have been. Nope, nothing in the lounge room. Nope, nothing in the office.
He walked into the kitchen and flicked on the light.
Taking a moment for his eyes to adjust, he scanned the room for what might have caused the thud and thump he’d heard. Nope, nothing…
His gaze landed on the large silver mixing bowl upside down on the floor. Now, why would that be there?
He bent and scooped it up, spinning it between both hands while he looked around the room. That doesn’t equate to the crash, though.
Ow!
Tanner lifted his foot and looked at his sole, seeing blood drip from a cut. This might. Is that glass?
He hobbled to one of the stools at the kitchen bench and hoisted himself onto it, cocking his foot onto the bench to see it better. Got Band-Aids?
Sean mumbled, Yeah
, while he leaned down to see how much glass there was and saw a broken drinking glass under the bench. How’d that get…?
Glancing up, he saw his friends looking at him. Careful where you walk, I’ll get the broom and pan.
He carefully made his way to the utility cupboard for the dustpan and swept up the broken glass he could see while Tanner tended to his foot.
Here’s my piece.
Tanner dropped it into the dustpan as Sean walked by. It’s not too bad. But how’d the glass break in the first place?
That’s what I’d like to know,
Sean muttered. If Rusty was in the family room with us, it wasn’t him. The window’s shut, so it wasn’t a breeze, and the doors are securely locked.
Thud…
Crash…
Thump!
Five heads swivelled towards the basement door.
You sure all the doors are locked?
Tanner whispered. Someone’s down there.
He slowly lowered his leg and swivelled the rest of his body to orient with his head. Can anyone break into the basement?
No. The windows are too small and the only way in is through the door.
So…then…someone’s in your basement,
Liam whispered and tiptoed closer to Charlie. What do we do?
Sean’s gaze darted to the security system on the wall. There’s no motion in the basement, no heat, the alarm’s not going off.
He thought of what was there. A shelf could have collapsed. There are some old ones down there.
Then what made the mixing bowl hit the floor and the glass smash?
Zack asked, inching closer to the others. Something happens in the kitchen, then something happens in the basement…
We’ll go down and have a look,
Sean replied. The security alarm says there’s no one down there, so it’s fine.
He nodded confidently, the motion defying his insides which were quaking. But let’s put some shoes on first.
They hurried back to the family room for their shoes before heading for the basement door.
Do we need anything?
Liam asked. Torch, baseball bat—
Don’t be stupid!
Sean rolled his eyes and flicked open the metal lock at the top of the door. See, even the lock was still in place. No one’s down there.
He turned the knob and pushed the door open. It creaked on its hinges as he flicked the wall switch. The steps before them were illuminated in bright white light and he started down with more bravado than he felt. It’s probably a shelf,
he said loudly, trooping down step by step with the boys behind him. I hope it was nothing valuable that broke.
He reached the bottom of the stairs and looked around, spying a fallen shelf and several broken jars of nails. See, there you go.
He grabbed a dustpan and brush from the cleaning supplies by the wall and hurried over to clean up the mess.
The boys helped lift the shelf and settle it on the work bench.
Just came out of the wall.
Charlie examined the gaps where the shelf had been. Looks a bit rotted.
I’ll tell Dad when he gets home.
Sean finished sweeping up the glass and nails and dumped them into an old tin for his father to deal with.
Sean…
Sean glanced around to see Tanner in front of the
