Some years ago, when my daughter was just seven, she had a fascination with horror stories. As we had no actual children’s horror books in the house I was forced to essentially make up stories on the spot, every evening – for years! After a year or so of inventing a story each night at bedtime, I told her that I would one day pick out the best stories and create a book.
She responded by rolling her eyes at me; eight years later, I finally found enough free time to achieve my goal, and I hope that my thought-provoking books create an opportunity for a good discussion and debate between children and parents about the meaning of the story.”

A Daughter's Challenge Met, Tales Transformed.
A fantastic collection of original age appropriate scary children’s stories. Me and my 9 year old son enjoyed this book from start to finishi. The author has a way a weaving positive messages into the right balance of creepy and scary.
The messages within the stories make this relatable to the point you can actually picture yourself in the story. This was particularly the case for us with The Popcorn Animals and MYPhone.
Some children may actually find some of the things they worry about, both real and make believe, spelled out in this book and its why I’d recommend it so highly. Reading about these things can make them less scary. Especially in this case with how the author positions and exposes relevant fears, turning them into positive outcomes and learnings.
Hope to read more from this author in the future!
Be Afraid is a great book for kids. My daughter who is twelve enjoyed reading it for herself and to her cousins who are 8 and 9. A good variety of short stories which are both funny and ofcourse scary (but not too much!). I'd definitely recommend this book.
I loved this book and volume 1because of the funniness of it and it was not too scary for older children. There are 14 amazing stories all by an amazing author, about quite random things but all brilliant.
I am 8 years old and I read this book in an afternoon with great interest and amazement.
For those seeking a literary adventure that transcends conventional storytelling, "Be Afraid... Volume II" is a must-read. Its rich narrative, coupled with the exploration of universal themes, makes it a standout addition to the series, leaving readers eagerly anticipating more from this talented storyteller.
Readers embark on a riveting journey through a collection of imaginative stories that seamlessly blend suspense, courage, and the boundless curiosity of childhood.
This sequel, a worthy successor to the original series, maintains the thematic richness that made its predecessor a hit.
It not only entertains but also encourages readers to ponder the depths of imagination and the courage it takes to confront the unknown.
The writing style is engaging, with a perfect balance of suspense and wonder that appeals to readers of all ages.
