Ghoulie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798330546879)

On a stormy night, young Brandon Miller screams in terror, prompting his mother to rush to his room. He claims to have found a snake head in his bed, but his brother Michael denies being responsible. To calm them down, their mother tells them a spooky story about a boy named Timmy, who was often bullied at school but carried around a toy skeleton called "Ghoulie." After being lured into an old, abandoned house by a group of kids pretending to be his friends, Timmy is tragically crushed by a falling tree branch during a storm, and his soul is transferred into Ghoulie. The legend says that Ghoulie returns every Halloween, eager to play with children. As Mrs. Miller finishes the story, Michael admits to putting the snake head in Brandon's bed as a prank. However, the tale leaves both boys unnerved, especially when a small toy skeleton mysteriously appears in their room after Mrs. Miller leaves.

This chilling story is perfect for readers who enjoy spooky tales and legends with a mix of humor and fright.
