More Bones, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Various Authors.
- This is a Book I read on my own time, not really a serious book to read, about 150 pages long with many stories that involve the dead. My Favorite story in the book was The Secret. It was about a boy going to wizard school and how their was a rumor on the last boy to leave the campus was going to be taken by the hand. So he wants to be last and trick the hand. So when he runs out the hand grabs his shadow, now everyone will think he is a demon cause he had no shadow.
