Publisher's Summary

Six Scary Stories, selected by Stephen King.

Winning stories from The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Hodder-Guardian competition. The number one best-selling 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 collection.

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....

Two great stories

Two were really good, detailed and at times scary but the rest were only okay at best. The others didn't wrap me into the story and they were not that scary.

Meh, won't recommend

I was hoping for a better read but of the 6 stories only 2 left me interested and keen to keep reading. I skipped through most of the others as they were tedious, even being as short as they were. Overall a disappointment.
