    About this ebook

    One Buck Horror presents five chilling tales from five of today's most up-and-coming horror authors.

    "Jenny's House" is a great place to play, but an unexpected playmate makes for a dark session of show-and-tell.

    Three kids seek to steal from a traveling carnival and get more than they bargained for in "A Lullaby for Caliban"

    In "The Last Nephew", Nephew yearns to be free of Uncle's depredations, but when Uncle leaves his pocket watch behind one night, it gives him the key to his escape.

    Crossing "The Cornfield" is harrowing on the best of winter nights, but this night, Jack turns to see eyes in the darkness, and knows that something is following him...

    In "The Ginger Men", mother is baking a special ingredient into a treat for father, an ingredient that gives her pie dough a life of its own.

    Featuring stories by Ada Hoffmann, Julie Jansen, Mark Onspaugh, Mike Trier, and Elizabeth Twist.

      Jenny's House

      by Ada Hoffmann

      For show and tell today I brought a G.I. Joe covered with slime from the slime monster in Jenny's basement. You can see how it's green and gooey and light goes right through it, and if you squeeze the ziplock bag, it moves like this. Squish. I'm not going to open the bag because it smells bad. It smelled worse at Jenny's house.

      I was over there playing G.I. Joes with Jenny and the whole house smelled awful, and I held my nose and I said, Pee-yu! And Jenny said, Sorry, that's the slime monster. We can't clean it up.

      I told Jenny I wanted to see the slime monster, because slime monsters are awesome and you guys would want to hear about it. But Jenny said, No, it's dangerous. I said, If it's so dangerous why do you live here? Can't you move somewhere else? And Jenny said, Mom doesn't want to.

      So we tried to play with G.I. Joes but everything smelled bad. I said, All my G.I. Joes are going to stink when I bring them home. And Jenny said, Sorry. When she talked about the slime monster her face got all screwed up and nervous like this. Meeeugh.

      I said, Did the slime monster ever try to eat you? And Jenny said, I don't want to talk about it. Let's just play G.I. Joes.

      Jenny made her G.I. Joe fall off a cliff and land on a lion so he survived but then the lion ate him up, and I laughed and laughed, and Jenny's face got all screwed up and she said, Don't laugh so loud, that makes it mad. And when my Lego knights attacked the G.I. Joes in a big Lego cart I had them yelling like this, Kyaaaaa! And
