Fright Night

I love the perfunctory titles of the Super Mysteries.  They’re so completely phoned in.  Also, this one came out just a touch after my “live” collecting years, and I honestly might have been tempted, just by the Salem connection.  When I was about ten, I was massively interested in Salem and the witch trials-I read tons of books about ( Read more... )
