Because the stories told in middle grade horror books are truly terrifying. Middle grade readers might be even braver than grown up readers. I was super brave and got through the whole thing with nary a nightmare, and I felt like a cool grown up.īut here’s the thing. And when I was 10 years old, I read my first Stephen King novel. Way, way, way back in the day when I was a middle grader (yes, somehow I can still remember that far back), we had books like R.L Stine’s Goosebumps series and Alvin Scwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books, featuring those horrifying illustrations by Stephen Gammell. Think middle grade readers aren’t brave enough handle creepy stories? Clearly you haven’t been around enough middle graders lately.
