Pages of Doom (Book of Screams #2)
by Jeff Szpirglas (Author) Andrew P Barr (Illustrator)
Middle grader Tanya has managed to stop famed horror writer Joel Southland from stealing people's nightmares for his books.
The malevolent, sentient ink that had been the source of all his powers and successes now belongs to Tanya. But the ink--which feeds on nightmares--is growing hungrier and hungrier. It urges Tanya to plunder the dreams of others so it can feed. Among Tanya's struggles to outwit the ink are eleven other creepy tales representing the dreams and nightmares of other characters in the book.
From tales of dentists who are actually giant alien insects in disguise to a kid spotting a tombstone with his own name and death date, these stories are sure to thrill and chill.

Review quotes
"Scary stories meld with haunting nightmares as tales weave within a tale and form a chilling tomb from beginning to end...Each tale is very original and holds on its own, making this great for reluctant readers as well. [Horror] fans will enjoy the variety and mix, and be able to come back and visit their favorites time and again." — Bookworm for Kids
