Summary

Bored in the middle of another summer vacation, Anna, her brother Chuck, and their friends John, Merrie, and Marcus plan to meet in the woods at midnight every Saturday to tell scary stories. They call their group The Nightmare Club, and they get together to see who tells the scariest stories throughout summer and into the fall, when they head back to school. 

The group becomes inseparable, looking forward to the meetings every week as they try to outdo each other. But, their late-night fun turns to terror when they learn an other-worldy being – known to them as Mr. Nightmare – has taken an interest in them and has been feeding on their dreams.

Mr. Nightmare continues to taunt and torment the group, until they decide to fight back against their tormentor. The more The Nightmare Club fights back, however, the more dangerous Mr. Nightmare becomes.

My Review

4/5 Stars

Spooky and the perfect Halloween listen, Mr. Nightmare follows a group of five friends as they create the “Nightmare Club.” A weekly meeting where they tell each other scary stories in the hopes of giving one another nightmares. Whoever tells the most nightmare inducing stories wins. But there’s a catch. Someone is watching, and it’s scarier than any story they could create.

I loved the vibes of this story. The small town group of friends facing a mysterious force that they can’t understand. Each character grappled with their own troubles, and I loved the way they handled them and used those struggles to their advantages.

Younger readers will enjoy this story.

Narration was done well.
