Midnight Frights

Illustrated Scary Stories for Brave Readers

By: Billy Wells

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When the lights go out, even familiar places can turn dangerous.

Midnight Frights is an illustrated collection of twenty-two eerie short stories for readers ages 9–12 who love creepy mysteries, tense escapes, and twist endings that linger long after the last page.

Each tale unfolds in an everyday location—a locker room, a storm drain, a root cellar, an abandoned greenhouse—where something is wrong, something is watching, and someone may not make it out the same. Paired with striking full-page artwork, every story pulls readers deeper into the darkness.

Inside you’ll discover:

• A basement that won’t stay silent
• A storage unit with a name on the box
• A swimming pool that shouldn’t be empty
• A greenhouse hiding impossible soil
• A storm drain with something moving below

Fast, unsettling, and built for flashlight reading, Midnight Frights delivers chills without crossing into graphic territory—perfect for confident young horror fans ready for something bolder.

Whether it’s read alone, passed around at a sleepover, or devoured under the covers, this is the first book in a brand-new illustrated series for kids who like their scares smart, strange, and unforgettable.

Just remember:

Ordinary places aren’t always safe after midnight.
