The Nightmare Room #3: My Name Is Evil

Say Happy Birthday to Maggie O’Connor.

She’s that shy, pretty girl standing outside the fortune-teller’s tent. Today she turned thirteen, and her three best friends brought her to the pier to celebrate. Maggie and her friends came to the carnival for fun. But Maggie won’t be celebrating for long.

The old woman who reads her palm will soon have Maggie screaming in horror. Because Maggie hasn’t really entered a fortune-teller’s tent. She has stepped into The Nightmare Room. Strange, chaotic accidents keep striking everyone around her, while her own hands burn with heat. Before another day passes, terrifying disasters will threaten her classmates. Frightened kids in the halls whisper that she is cursed. Soon her closest friends will suspect her of dark magic.
