PROM NIGHTS FROM HELL
By: Stephanie Meyer, Kim Harrison,
Meg Cabot, Lauren Myracle, Michele Jaffe
FIRST SENTENCES
“The music is pounding in time to my heartbeat.”
“Outside, the wind whisptered around Madame Zanzibar’s house, making a loose rain-pipe thump against the siding.”
“A British General, a damsel in a dress, and a pirate walk into a gym, I thought as I gazed over the bodies moving in the mind-numbing chaos of pent-up, inexperienced, teenage lust.”
“Sorry this wasn’t more of a storybook ending,” the man with his hands around her throat said, smiling, holding her eyes with his own as he choked her.”
“Gabe stared across the dance floor and frowned.”
SUMMARY
from goodreads
In this exciting collection, bestselling authors Meg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, Stephanie Meyer, and Laruen Myracle take bad prom nights to a whole new level – a paranormally bad level. Wardrobe malfunctions and two left feet don’t hold a candle to discovering your date is the Grim Reaper – and he isn’t here to tell you how hot you look.
From angels fighting demons to a creepy take on getting what you wish for, these five stories will entertain better than any DJ in a bad tux. No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good, scary fun.
REVIEW
The last book of short stories I read was a book of fairy tales when I was younger. Since that was a success, I thought I’d give it another go because I recognized some of these authors. SUCCESS a second time around!
Spooky sums up these stories pretty well. For the most part, they were scary and truly were Prom Nights From Hell.
The story I liked best was Hell on Earth by Stephanie Meyer. She does such an amazing job of describing the scenes, that it paints a picture in my mind. This was the least spooky of the stories and I just loved the idea of angels at a prom.
I wonder if the authors based their stories on their own prom experiences. Hhmm, makes a girl wonder.
