Thrillers & Chillers- Volume 2

For my readers who want stories with thrills, chills, and surprise endings, but not so horrific to keep them from a good night's sleep, I have selected fourteen stories from my "Don't Look Behind You" and "Scary Stories-Vol 1" collections to rock your world without the hairy monsters. Many of these selections are longer than in Thrillers & Chillers-Volume 1.
The selections include:
