Review | Too Scared to Sleep by Andrew Duplessie

From debut author Andrew Duplessie, a terrifying collection of teen short horror stories–and accompanying videos–that will keep you up long into the night! Perfect for fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s.

A garbage disposal that feeds on flesh . . .

A beloved stuffed rabbit that cooks up your parents . . .

Roses that require human blood to bloom . . .

From blood-chilling horror to supernatural scares, this collection of short stories from debut author Andrew Duplessie offers something to stoke anyone’s fear factor. But that’s only the beginning. In a first-ever twist, each story also comes with a pulse-pounding video that deepens the horror. Point your phone at the QR code and be prepared to scream! Maybe even share it with your friends, if you dare.

Ready or not, Too Scared to Sleep will answer the question: How brave are you, really?

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I love short story collections and I really feel when it’s horror short stories it’s even better. There’s something that is very “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” when it comes to horror anthologies, especially those centered on tweens or teens – there’s a lot of nostalgia there for me before I even start reading. I found a lot of the stories in the anthology to be enjoyable, some of them not so much – but that’s common with any anthology. I did really enjoy the differing formats and little additions within the anthology. All in all this is a great compilation, a fast read and thoroughly enjoyable for spooky season.

Happy reading!
