Spooky for adults too. - Spooky and fun! Memorable stories that I can tell around the campfire. - James. 5 stars - 2026
One last swim. One strange ice cream truck. One empty campsite next door. One photo that should have shown only four friends.This book is packed with creepy, spooky, mysterious summer stories that start out fun and familiar-then turn unforgettable.
Inside, you'll find haunted camps, midnight pool parties, silent lakes, eerie fireworks, strange road trip stops, creepy beach bonfires, and end-of-summer nights where something feels wrong in the dark. Every story pulls you in fast, builds the suspense, and leaves you with the kind of chills that make you want to read just one more before you sleep.
These are the kinds of scary stories readers love most:
the kind you race through,
the kind you immediately tell your friends about,
and the kind that stay in your head long after you close the book.
Perfect for ages 10-13 and beyond, this collection delivers page-turning suspense, creepy twists, haunting summer settings, and just the right level of fright-scary, exciting, and intense without relying on gore. From haunted cabins and strange ice cream trucks to silent lifeguards, vanished campers, glowing figures in the sky, and playground photos that change when no one is looking, every story is designed to be vivid, memorable, and impossible to forget.
If you love scary stories for kids, spooky books for tweens, middle grade horror, ghost stories, creepy mysteries, campfire tales, and chilling short stories with big atmosphere and powerful endings, this collection belongs on your shelf.
Read it at night.
Read it with friends.
Read it if you dare.
But don't be surprised if summer never feels quite the same again.
