More Anthologies - Vacations From Hell

An anthology is one book with several short stories in it (mostly by different authors). You get several short "books" in one single book. Great if you don't have too much time to read (i.e. when traveling, before going to bed, etc.) or if you want to discover new authors. This week on YA Vampire Books, I will future several anthologies with a supernatural theme.

Titel: Vacations From Hell
Authors: Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, Claudia Gray, Maureen Johnson & Sarah Mlynowski
Publisher: HarperTeen (May 2009)

Life's a beach . . . and then you're undead?

In this must-have collection, five of today's hottest writers—Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), Claudia Gray (Evernight), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes), and Sarah Mlynowski (Bras & Broomsticks)—tell supernatural tales of vacations gone awry. Lost luggage is only mildly unpleasant compared to bunking with a witch who holds a grudge. And a sunburn might be embarrassing and painful, but it doesn't last as long as a curse. Of course, even in the most hellish of situations, love can thrive. . . .

From light and funny to dark and creepy, these stories have something for everyone. You definitely won't want to leave this collection at home!

- Sounds great! I might have to go on vacation now, just to have a reason to read this book ;) It will be interesting to see if Maureen Johnson and Lauren Mlynowski succeed to write supernatural "scary" stories! -
