Review Detail

This is a collection of short stories from popular teen authorsMeg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, Stephenie Meyer and Lauren Myracle that takes the revered tradition of going to the prom and gives it a dark, dangerous twist. From a vampire hunting girl named Mary whose mission it is to take out Dracula, to the demon Sheba delighting in wreaking mayhem at the prom, these stories take the reader on an exhilarating ride of action, suspense with strong, appealing characters.

The Exterminators Daughter by Meg Cabot was my favorite. Its about Mary, a young girl who shows up at a ritzy downtown Manhattan nightclub with a mission to take out her best friends date Sebastian with a crossbow! Things go a little awry when fellow classmate Adam takes his own shot at Sebastian. My second favorite was the Corsage by Lauren Myracle. Its about a young girl who gets a corsage from a psychic with the knowledge that it will grant her 3 wishes. All Frankie wants is for her best guy friend Will to ask her to the prom. Should be simple right? Frankie will come to realize that some requests should be left alone!

Prom Nights from Hell was a great paranormal anthology that both teens and adults will enjoy reading and Id highly recommend it.
