Thirteen: 13 Tales of Horror by 13 Masters of Horror

Nostalgic for sure

I have read this book many times since I bought it when I was 14. The stories still hold up.

The book Thirteen is not just one story. There are 13 short extremely scary stories. They are a variety of horrifying events. For example there is this one story called The Doll. This story was the scariest to me. It was about a girl who found a doll in her attic and she thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. So she brought it down to her room and kept it there. But ever since then strange things started happening. The doll would move its head without anyone touching it, and it also caused nightmares. These nightmares would come true. In the dream it would always have someone get hurt or die. And you wouldn't see that it's the doll. You would just see a little girl and hear gigiling. If you like scary stories then i highly recommend this book to you. It's an amazing book that will make you want to scream with fear!!!!!

I read the book "Thirteen" and thought it was great! All of the short, scary stories were filled with mysterious twists and unpredictable endings. The authers of this book came together to make a great book of horror. I liked one story inpreticular, it was the one called "The Doll" and it was great. I had to stop reading it so I could get to sleep that night. I would recomend this book for middle school reading and high school reading because littler kids might be too scared. I encourage anyone who loves horror stories to get their hands on this book, because it is definitly worth reading.

This book was enjoyable for me, especially since I'm just polishing up my own book of short horror stories. Every tale was unique in some way or another, but Christopher Pike really took the cake with his two-part story--highly original. I think this is one of the best collection of horror stories for young adult readers. Even though some stories may be just plain "eerie", that's what I like about them. They're entertaining.

I bought this book at a little used book store by my house, interested in checking it out for a long time. So, I got it and it's a month or two later, and I've read all the stories. (I think) Well, each story was pretty interesting, I must say that. Well, maybe not all of them. I dread all R.L. Stine novels, and his story bored the hell out of me, even though the idea was kinda cool. Christopher Pike wrote the most amazing story of that whole book. His talent is amazing, and he scared the hell out of me. Then there was "Deathflash," by A. Bates, which had the most radically stupid story of them all. She's not a bad writer, but that story was so odd. Same with Caroline Cooney's "Where the Deer Are." Soemthing about that story that I can't put my finger on didn't sit write with me. "Dedicated to the One I Love" by Diane Hoh was impressive, and it indeed scared me, unlike "The Train," one of her novels. "House of Horrors" by J.B. Stamper was another good one. "The Guiccioli Miniature" by Jay Bennett, who I never read anything of, was creative. Carol Ellis is one of my favorite authors, and "The Doll" was pretty cool, even though the story is rather monotonous and predictable. It had a certain something that made it great, and that's why I like her work so much. Those are the only ones I can remember reading of the top of my mind, and I think I only read those. So far, I was impressed. The rest of the stories should also be good.
