What Parents Need to Know
About Half-Minute Horrors
Parents need to know that this is a book designed to creep kids out, but stays clear of adult content (bad language, sex, etc.). While there's no gore, stories are at times scary and unnerving and sometimes involve murder or the attempted murder of people.
