Bookroo's summary

Trapped in a vampire-infested house, your survival hinges on telling a spine-chilling story each night. This collection offers tales of hitchhiking phantoms, haunted mannequins, and more to keep the vampires at bay. But beware—names have power, and whispers in the dark might be heard. Can you outwit the creatures lurking in the shadows and make it through the night?

From the publisher

This fourth wall-breaking middle grade collection of spooky, scary, and spoopy stories for fans of Lemony Snicket and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark might just help you survive the night in a house full of vampires. If you are reading this book, then you must be trapped in that spooky house with those vampires. Sorry about that. But! You might just make it out if you manage to tell them one scary story each night in accordance with standard vampire rules. Don’t know any scary stories? Good thing you found this book! Every tale in this tome is true…more or less (more more than less). You get a little bit of everything in this monster mash: from hitchhiking phantoms to women in white, a carnivore beast that loves a good vacation to a haunted mannequin with a bug problem, killer phones, concerned werewolves, you name it. Everything you need to keep those vampires on the edge of their seats–and well away from your neck. But beware…don’t get too comfortable. Names have power, and if you whisper about too many things in the dark, they might just hear you.
