Books in Michael Dahl's Really Scary Stories: Michael Dahl's Really Scary Stories series

Jason is so thrilled with the set of 12 mythological Greek god figures he receives for his birthday that he carries one with him to a local toy shop. Soon he discovers that a 13th doll―the Medusa Doll―was also made for his set. Surely this rare figure will be too expensive . . . or is it? Much to his surprise, the toy shop owner simply gives him the doll for free! At first, Jason can’t believe his luck. But then strange stone statues start appearing, and Jason discovers that the true price of the Medusa Doll is stone cold fear!

Things are not quite right in Neary Heights. People are going missing, garden gnomes seem to be multiplying, and Stan could swear he hears the pitter-patter of tiny feet behind him when he walks through the neighborhood. As Stan begins to wonder if these strange happenings are somehow related, all the garden gnomes take on screaming faces. Can he figure out what is going on with these nightmare gnomes before he it’s too late?
