 Dear Mrs Zrhen,

I am reading a book called The scary stories Treasury it has a bunch of scary stories. One of the scary stories is called The Hook. It is about 2 friends who are in a car and they hear in the radio a murder is on the loose and is heading to their location. one of the friends where very scarred so they decided to go home and then  they herd a bump. The 2 friends where so scared that they drove off once they came home they saw a hook on the car door with blood all over it.

If you thought that was scary another one is about 2 kids sitting on a fence then a man in the dark came staring at the 2 friends one of the friends went to  touch the guy and when he did he saw a rotten fleshed guy.
The 2 kids where so scared that the kid who touched the thing died from toxic a month later. This book has lots of scary stories like the ones you just read.
