Narrative During Books The Nightmarys
Timothy July has been having nightmares. About his brother, who is in a coma after being wounded in Iraq; about his best friend, Stuart, who is behaving like a jerk; about the old biology specimens in jars lining the walls of his classroom; and about Abigail, the new girl who seems to be a magnet for trouble. Or perhaps she is the cause.Suddenly Timothy’s nightmares are coming true. His brother, his face decaying, approaches Timothy on the street. Stuart ends up in the hospital, terrified that monsters are stalking him. And the specimen jars are tormenting not only Timothy but his teacher as well.
What is the secret in Abigail’s past that is the key to these horrors? And can Timothy figure it out before his nightmares become a deadly reality?
A follow-up to the well-received Stone Child, Dan Poblocki’s second novel will have his readers mesmerized until the last page—and sleeping with the lights on.

I bought this book a while back at a thrift store, though I had seen it a long time ago on different websites here and there. I knew that The Nightmarys would be a great read come October and when it came time to make my horror TBR for the month, I immediately put it front and center on my list.The cover of this book has always been super creepy to me and very reminiscent of The Shining. I always wondered who the Nightmarys were and what kind of story they had to tell.Starting the book, I admitI've been reading a lot of middle grade horror/ghost stories lately and Dan Poblocki's books looked right up my alley. You have to admit - the cover art is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the story itself...wasn't so much.Even if I haven't been thrilled with all of them, almost all of the middle grade books I've been reading lately have been fairly well-written (and some were crafted extremely well). The Nightmarys had really bad writing, in my opinion, and that was the main problem with this
Not as good as expected and quite childlike in writing.
I loved the book. It's title and picture cover are really fascinating. I read this book at night so it really had that creepy affect. It's great though I recieved it as a birthday gift and just had it there on the book shelf. I then picked it up and started reading it, it was really good in my opinion. You should read it if you like scary stuff. I recommend it. (less)
Woo! First book of 2019 :) I bought this book at goodwill a year or two ago since it sounded interesting. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It was a refreshing take on those pre-teen/early teen horror stories that authors try to make. I love the concept of your worst fears being used against you. I think the ending was a bit meh but I overall enjoyed the book in total. The chapters were short and I loved how the author segmented between some chapters. I might have to
The Nightmarys terrified my 10-year-old. She read portions of the book aloud to me, and literally yanked the book I was reading out of my hands to force this one on me.Unfortunately, meh.I can see why the creepy bits bothered her. But I can't wait till she's old enough to tackle some real horror.
Interesting plot (maybe a little too scary for a young audience?), but I didn't like the writing as much as I would have hoped. The characters were a little too two-dimensional for my liking and much of the dialogue fell flat.
