Horror: Verdigris Deep

When Ryan and his friends are caught stranded and penniless late one night, they steal coins from a wishing well for bus fare. Soon after, strange things start happening to them. Peculiar marks tingle on Ryan's knuckles, light bulbs explode, and a terrified Chelle starts speaking words that aren't her own. Then the well witch appears, with her fountains for eyes and gargled demands. From now on, the friends must serve her - and fulfill the lost wishes that lie rotting at the bottom of the well.

This spooky book is perfect for teens who want to scare themselves silly. If you liked watching The Grudge or The Ring (yikes!!) you'll love this tale.
Fiction (horror!)
