Hi Alex!
So I run these ghost story periods at the summer camp I work at. Last time I read Do Not Open (with a few tweaks because kids) and the cabin was not impressed (no taste ig). What statement would you reccomend for 10-13 year olds for ghost stories?
Yeah not surprised Do Not Open didn’t work. That one is a subversion of the payoff people have come to expect from horror. At 10-13 I think you are still interested in a standard payoff.
My guess is you’ll want something a bit more more direct, more visceral with a stronger sting in the end that doesn’t require context.
Maybe something from S5 Mag?
