Children ride rides at traveling shows. The clang of the locker doors is between-class music at the high school. Parents send their children off to bed with a snack of milk and cookies. There are, though, other... things... in this fictional landscape. Things that want a little snack themselves, and not of the milk-and-cookie variety, either. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are trees that walk, statues that accuse, and white-faced ticket takers with gentle names like \"Dave\" who send people on very long journeys. There are fish here that we certainly hope \u003ci\u003eyou're\u003c\/i\u003e never on the other end of the fishing line from. Ms. Brown, an acclaimed storyteller, has put together this collection of original modern-day scary stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They're intense, creepy, and perfect for reading aloud to a friend on a crisp fall evening, or for telling around a campfire when the sky is full of stars, or for reading by yourself in an isolated old house as the wind rises and the rain blows against the roof and a shutter bangs downstairs....
