About this listen

In this bonus episode, your host, Dan Poblocki, reads another creepy story, this time from his recent novel MORE Tales to Keep You Up at Night, and talks again about the story’s origins. “Imogen’s Skeleton,” is about a shy girl named Imogen who realizes that she may have a few things in common with the model anatomy skeleton that hangs at the back of her middle school classroom. But when she pushes back at the bullies in her life, and in her own home, both Imogen and the classroom skeleton go through some changes . . . together. Read with permission from Penguin Random House LLC.

Dan Poblocki is the bestselling author of the recent novels Tales to Keep You Up at Night and More Tales to Keep You Up at Night, along with Ghost Hunter’s Daughter, Liars’ Room, The Stone Child, The Nightmarys and others.
