There's a Giant Trapdoor Spider Under Your Bed

Dark Corners collection

De: Edgar Cantero

Narrado por: Amy Landon

The thrill of a sleepover becomes sheer terror as kids voice their greatest fears into existence in this cheeky, vividly cinematic tale by bestselling author Edgar Cantero. Lights out.

It’s bad enough that its venom-dripping chelicerae can slice through flesh like warm butter. Worse? It’s right there under the bunk. It’s a fact now. To make it through the night, the children must obey the rules: don’t get out of bed, stay out of the shadows, and don’t wake the beast. But as the threats multiply, so do the rules of survival. And with the safety of dawn still hours away, the fun is just beginning.

Edgar Cantero’s There’s a Giant Trapdoor Spider under Your Bed is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

Okay?

it was cute and I kinda liked it when I had the feeling that this was all childish games. like I love the idea of things causing havoc from peoples imagination but like why do yall need the wands if yall just made up these creatures out of thin air? why not just make up the wands? there was a lot of plot holes like that through the story so take it with a grain of salt.

Great story.

I like this story very much. It captured the mind of over active children very well. One thing I will criticized is some parts of the story repeated itself. Maybe it was a written error or reading error. But overall fantastic story.

Disappointing

As someone who really enjoyed Edgar Cantero's "Meddling Kids", and horror in general, I was excited for this collection and this story in particular. Unfortunately, it was a letdown. The performance left a lot to be desired, and the story wasn't terribly well executed. You're dumped into the story with almost no context, and while the premise is moderately clever, the author does it no favors by leaning way too heavily on pop culture references in place of actual storytelling.

Recommend for younger audience

Very childish and full of boy humor. Pre teens and younger might like this story.

Hard pass

I didn't like the premise of the book. The others in this series were better.
