HalloweenFright NightE Macmillan Publishers Limited 2011SAMPLIt’s Halloween night and I’m here all alone,No television and no telephone.I pick up a book and start to read.It’s a book of ghost stories — that’s all that I need.The first story’s great. It’s very scary.It’s all about a man who’s really hairy.Suddenly there’s knocking on the front door.I think, “It’s a ghost. I’m very sure.”“Who’s there?” I call in a voice strong and true.A voice answers, “Me. I’m here to see you.”“Please go away. You can’t come inside.”I think to myself, “Now, where can I hide?”Oh, dear, now the ghost is ringing the bell.“Go away,” I say, “or I’m going to yell.”Oh, no! Now the ghost is using a key.He’s turning the doorknob — he’s going to get me!I hide in the closet under the clothes.I hear him come closer. I think that he knows.Now he’s calling my name. He knows who I am.“Sara . Sara . it’s me!” says my brother, Sam.By Frank N. SteinScary Poems 47p1113 U1
