Nightmare Stories

Online Trolls

Timmy is one viral video away from becoming the next big superstar. But when his videos are targeted by jealous online trolls, his dreams feel like they're slipping away.

Suspicious that the online trolls are the bullies from his school, Timmy attempts to expose them, uncovering a terrible secret instead: they aren't just online trolls, they're real ones with human disguises.

When the trolls offer to help Timmy find internet fame, he questions how far he's willing to go to chase his dreams.


Hungry Little Bookwyrm

If proud bookworm Syd could dive into a book and become the main character, she wouldn't hesitate. A warrior princess, a swashbuckling pirate, or a witch-in-training would be infinitely better than her boring life.  

When Syd develops headaches that only get better when she reads, the doctor thinks she's lying, and worse, her mum believes him and confiscates all her books. Afraid and alone, the headaches worsen, accompanied by demanding voices in her mind begging her to read.  

Can she feed the hungry little bookwyrm living in her brain, or will he starve and eat her from the inside out?  

A Hairy Situation

All Jacinta wants is to go back home to Sydney, but her mum must solve a case first: a missing person with no clues, unless you count eyewitnesses who saw him get eaten by a yowie. But monsters aren’t real, so what’s really going on?   


When the police struggle to find new leads, Jacinta launches her own investigation and quickly learns giant hairy monsters might actually exist. She befriends Cory, a local yowie expert, and the two hunt for their monster. When Cory’s desperate search for the yowie becomes dangerous, will Jacinta find her yowie or be its next victim?
