This is a revised edition (2015) of the 2003 collection of 15 weird tales that was named one of five Bram Stoker Award finalists in the Young Readers category. This version costs less because it doesn't have the Jessica Hagerman pen-and-ink cover and illustrations, just the stories. The original book was eventually a runner-up to winner Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Even Odder is number two in the four-book Stories to Chill the Heart series by Steve Burt, whose FreeKs psychic teen detectives series recently won the Florida Book Festival grand prize and four Mom's Choice Awards.
