A short story of 13 pages

Dean is staying overnight at his rich friend’s house, looking forward to a weekend of fun. Wendell has everything, you see, including a giant four-poster bed in the centre of his bedroom. Big enough to hide under.

While ahead there may be fun and games aplenty, one thing is for sure. Whatever you do, DON’T LOOK UNDER THE BED.

🌟Review (5/5) 🌟

I will not be dangling my legs beside my bed anytime soon.

Yes, this story gave me the chills. The child finding out what’s under the bed is like straight out of a horror movie. I keep on saying ‘no, no, no’, and yet the character looks anyway (why do they always do that?!). It’s really amazing how the author can start a story so innocent and normal; then the gradual increase of dread creeps in at the perfect pace.

This short story is part of a short story collection inside the book called A-Z of Horror. Check it out on Amazon!
