Bored in the middle of another summer vacation, Anna, her brother Chuck, and their friends John, Merrie, and Marcus plan to meet in the woods at midnight every Saturday to tell scary stories. They call their group The Nightmare Club, and they get together to see who tells the scariest stories throughout summer and into the fall, when they head back to school.

The group becomes inseparable, looking forward to the meetings every week as they try to outdo each other. But, their late-night fun turns to terror when they learn an other-worldy being - known to them as Mr. Nightmare - has taken an interest in them and has been feeding on their dreams.

Mr. Nightmare continues to taunt and torment the group, until they decide to fight back against their tormentor. The more The Nightmare Club fights back, however, the more dangerous Mr. Nightmare becomes.

BOOK REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr. Nightmare is a story about 5 kids who live in the middle of nowhere and how they ultimately choose to combat the boredom of their summer. With not much else to do, the crew sneak into the woods in the dark of night to tell tales of terror around a campfire. Nothing new here, right? Wrong. These aren't just stories and they aren't telling them just for themselves. Something much darker is feeding off their fear.

We follow these friends as they tell their tales with the intent to terrify and induce nightmares. They keep score and at first things are sort of fun. But overtime things turn dark and the friends realize that they need to break the hold that Mr. Nightmare has over them and their dreams. Escape won't come easily and not everyone will make it out of the club unscathed.

Mr. Nightmare was quite an enjoyable novel. It's not loaded with blood or gore, but there are definitely a fair amount of disturbing scenes. It did give me a bit if a YA feel while listening, especially since all its characters are so young ( middle grade into early high). It is told from the sole perspective of one of the clubs members who actually grows up to become a writer herself. So I do think that the intention was to allow her to tell us their story and to see it as through the eyes of some youngsters who got alot more than they bargained for. Just my take, and I quite enjoyed that the story was presented like that.


I truly enjoyed this novel and was especially fond of the narrator who brought so much life into the characters. I definitely will recommend that people check out this particular title and I will be looking into further narration from Amber Dekkers.

This was a fairly entertaining and moderately spooky book. I would classify it as a YA book, but it can still be enjoyed by readers/listeners of any age.

A group of 5 kids decide to form a club they call the Nightmare Club with the intention to tell spooky stories late at night in the woods. Then, scores would be kept to see whose story causes the most nightmares. Their stories are included as part of the book and (to me) they weren't particularly scary. This is one of the reasons that I see it as YA.

Unfortunately, this seemingly innocent game soon becomes much more as a mysterious man shows up claiming to feed upon their nightmares. Will the group be able to survive his threats or is it all in their imaginations? The ending was a bit spooky, but mostly poignant. All in all, this was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours when you want a mild scare.

The narrator did a great job and her voices and pacing were perfect for the book.

Spooky and the perfect Halloween listen, Mr. Nightmare follows a group of five friends as they create the “Nightmare Club.” A weekly meeting where they tell each other scary stories in the hopes of giving one another nightmares. Whoever tells the most nightmare inducing stories wins. But there’s a catch. Someone is watching, and it’s scarier than any story they could create.

I loved the vibes of this story. The small town group of friends facing a mysterious force that they can’t understand. Each character grappled with their own troubles, and I loved the way they handled them and used those struggles to their advantages.

Younger readers will enjoy this story.

Narration was done well.

Spooky
