The Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen
Book Review
A spine-chilling collection of stories that I loved reading!
What is the worst thing that could possibly happen? If you think you know, these stories might change your mind… A cat called Dodger goes missing. It turns up later, but is it Dodger? …Is it even a cat? Strange creatures entering our world through a sideways door.
The terrifying experience of swapping places with your reflection. A monster in an abandoned shed, a creature with a sharp-toothed smile that lurks in the corners of rooms, a nightmare pig that appears in your dreams, Doctor Panic: a man who has seen all kinds of evil. Alone at night, but are you really alone?
This collection of stories is brilliantly written, I couldn’t stop reading it! It was illustrated beautifully, capturing all the horror and spookiness of the story perfectly. I wasn’t a big fan of horror before I read this, but this book has definitely made me want to read more.
My favourite story in this book was either “Dodger” or “Nothing to Worry About” because even though they were short stories, they were the perfect amount of creepy! I’d recommend this to any horror or scary story fans. And one more thing… don’t read this book at night!
About the Book
What’s the worst thing that could happen? Before you decide, let me tell you a story.
Take a trip through the sideways door and let supernatural secrets come alive in these chilling tales of terror!
Meet the nightmare pig, a sinister swine with teeth on her mind.
Witness the terrifying reality of swapping places with your reflection or visit the ravenous monster in the shed.
And, if you dare, come face to fear-filled face with Doctor Panic, who’s seen far too much of the world behind the sideways door. But be warned – your world may never be the same again.
