"An excellent collection on a topic that holds a strange and fascinating allure." — SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
Everyone is afraid of something. But for those with phobias, that fear is exaggerated: the throat tightens; the heart races. The ten stories in this anthology all present people with debilitating anxiety — from a gripping portrait of a teen with agoraphobia to a humorous tale of a boy who dreads his girlfriend's cat. Whether the trigger is clowns, knives, string, or crossing the street, the characters in these stories confront, are confronted by, and sometimes even overcome their worst fears.

I loved this book of short, creepy, phobia-related stories! When I saw that Jane Yolen was one of the authors, I had to pick it up. She does incredible work, as well as the rest of the authors here. Her story with Stemple, didn't disappoint. "Bang, Bang, You're Dead" sucked me in from the very first line. At one point, I was so emotionally tied to the main character, I cried at his loss. Truly fantastic!
My second favorite story ended up being the first in the collection. Alex Finn's short story "The Door" put me directly in the shoes of an agoraphobic and it was fascinating! My brother struggles with Agoraphobia and this story allowed me to see it from his perspective. I never understood how he could go from being an outgoing and outdoorsy person, to vomiting if he left his room, until now. What makes many of these stories creepy, is that you can see how easy it would be to develop a phobia.
This book is great for kids because, a lot of kids think they are invincible or they have trouble relating to people with different fears. I think this book would allow kids to be able to see things from a different perspective and help open their minds. Also, the writing of these stories is simple and easy to read. The stories are entertaining, while not overly graphic or scary, making this book perfect for the 5th-8th grade levels.
