Pig Mask

Phantom Tales is a series for young readers who want to enter a world of wonder and horror and are unafraid to let their imaginations take them to strange and frightening places.

There are few things Eileen and her friends enjoy more than pulling pranks on other people. It's always worth a good laugh, and no one gets hurt, so there's nothing wrong with it. Right?

Eileen's mom tells the story of the bag man, a supernatural creature with a face so horrible it has to hide behind a mask. It keeps watch over misbehaving children and makes sure the worst of them are never seen again.

But it's just a fairy tale. Or at least, that's what Eileen thinks until she realizes someone is watching her. A pig mask covers his face, and he carries a bag. Eileen knows it's the bag man, but no one believes her, even after her friends start to go missing. . .
