»You Will Be the Death of Me« Ivy, Mateo und Cal waren einmal befreundet, jetzt haben sie nichts mehr miteinander zu tun. Aber als Cal zu spät zur Schule kommt und dort auf Ivy und Mateo trifft, ist das die Gelegenheit, eine alte Tradition wiederaufleben zu lassen: einen Tag blau machen. Bei ihrem spontanen Ausflug in die Stadt sichten sie zufällig einen vierten Schüler auf Abwegen und folgen ihm – mitten hinein in einen Tatort. Ivy, Cal und Mateo kennen den Toten, der vor ihnen liegt – und eigentlich sollten sie jetzt die Polizei rufen. Doch sie alle haben eine Verbindung zum Opfer.

Such Terrible Things is a collection of stories to be told at night. Within includes, I Hit A Monster With Your Car, which is mostly self-explanatory.

There is Little Holly and Mr. Thomas - a magic man who shares his magic with someone he ought not to have.

Mr. and Mrs. Wheelock live with their five-year old daughter in a small house in a tidy suburb. Although they present the picture of a happy little family, the old adage "appearances can be deceiving" could certainly apply to their household. This was American author and celebrated wit Dorothy Parker's first published short story.
