Don't Read After Midnight!

«Don't Read After Midnight!» — a collection of 12 spooky stories for teenagers aged 12 and up, where each tale — is the voice of fear itself, disguised as ghosts, demons, and sinister doubles. Behind the frightening plots lie real teenage experiences: loneliness, the fear of being misunderstood, anxiety about the future. Large atmospheric illustrations enhance the tension, and charismatic heroes make each story personal. The soft cover and convenient format make the book ideal for reading at home — just not after midnight.

This collection of scary stories acts as a mirror: the monsters in it — are not just figments of imagination, but reflections of the anxieties that teenagers face every day. Reading about ghosts in school corridors or doubles lurking in mirrors, the young reader inevitably thinks: «What scares me?» The book does not scare for the sake of fear — it offers a way to experience fear in a safe form and feel that you are not alone.

«Don't Read After Midnight!» — is not just scary stories for teenagers. It is an invitation to look beyond the ordinary, test your courage, and perhaps understand yourself a little better. The main thing is to remember the rule: when the clock strikes twelve, it's better to close the book…
