SIX SCARY STORIES

SELECTED BY STEPHEN KING

Winning stories from The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Hodder-Guardian competition.

The Number 1 bestselling writer Stephen King presents six gripping and chilling stories in this captivating anthology:

WILD SWIMMING by Elodie Harper

EAU-DE-ERIC by Manuela Saragosa

THE SPOTS by Paul Bassett Davies

THE UNPICKING by Michael Button

LA MORT DE L'AMANT by Stuart Johnstone

THE BEAR TRAP by Neil Hudson

Stephen King discovered these stories when he judged a competition run by Hodder & Stoughton and the Guardian to celebrate publication of his own collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. He was so impressed with the entries that he recommended they were published together in one book.

Listeners beware: the stories will make you think twice before cuddling up to your old soft toy, dipping your toe into the water or counting the spots on a leopard...

(P) 2016 Hodder & Stoughton

Stories 1, 2, 5 & 6 were okay but very short. I wouldn't call them scary.
