Have you ever thought about what lurks behind closed doors, under your bed, or in the creepy attic? Every child has panicked about what could be hiding in these dark corners because the supernatural poses a threat that is so frightening because it is so unknown. In her latest release, Joanie K. Findle further explores these classic frights in her book of short, supernatural stories, Out of This World. Geared toward a younger audience, stories about the mysterious walls of an ancient house, disappearing scarecrows in a field, and the strange old man next door (among many others) provide young readers with a mysterious and spooky reading experience without being too horrific. The stories are completely original and do their job to be sufficiently creepy. The supernatural continues to be a topic in literature, especially current young adult literature, that is popping up everywhere. Whether it's supernatural mysteries, horror stories, or even romance, this is constantly a genre that is proving itself to being increasingly popular with readers. One reason for this could be the fact that it is so foreign. Supernatural characteristics of a story are so completely out of the ordinary that this is what makes them fascinating to read and be immersed in. As well as this, because supernatural is fantastical in its nature, there are endless possibilities that can be written about supernatural characters or situations. There is no limit to the fantasy that can occur in a book with this genre, unlike the general limits of a realistic fiction novel. Whether or not the supernatural exists in some capacity within the real world or not, anything goes in the world of fantasy. Joanie K Findle explores this and more in Out of This World, the second book of short supernatural stories in her Nothing is as it Seemsseries. Young readers everywhere will be thoroughly pleased – and creeped out – by the books' end.
