Some of today's top bestselling authors, from Laurie Faria Stolarz to Melissa de la Cruz to Christopher Pike, come
together in this bone-chilling, spine-curling collection of dark and dangerous short stories.
In Peter Abrahams' story, Becky wishes she had never gotten sick and stayed home. Once she turned on her TV, a certain
show becomes all too real.
Twins Jane and Jill have been the best of sisters, or at least that is what Jill thought. Turns out her sister isn’t so happy with
the wonderful life Jill has right now and can’t wait to see her drop dead, literally. Soon enough, Jane comes up with the
perfect plan to make sure that only one sister is able to lead the perfect life. Christopher Pike takes us on a journey of what
being a twin could possibly be like.
Robin Wasserman creates Parker Kent, a girl who others don't really like. She finally thought she had made a friend, a
best friend, but before she knows it the friend turns on her. It's okay, though, since that friend never liked her in the first
place, right?
Fifteen more chilling stories complete this anthology of eighteen authors with their very own original works. Accompanied
by a frightening cover and an outrageous title, 666: THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST will make it very hard for you to
sleep tonight, and other nights that follow.
