Synopsis

Written by some of today’s most exciting teen authors, Vacations from Hell offers five unique takes on a universal experience—unforgettable trips.

This third Hell collection features stories of vacations that take a serious turn for the worse when paranormal elements interfere.

Claudia Gray’s teen witch falls for the wrong guy on her family’s yearly beach trip,

Cassandra Clare’s heroine confronts a vengeful and powerful woman while taking in the Jamaican sun.

The cruise ship in Sarah Mlynowski’s story carries some dead, soon-to-be-dead, and even some un-dead passengers aboard.

Libba Bray takes us to a town in Eastern Europe with a dark and bloody past.

And a paranoid madness born in the French Revolution reaches across time to turn sister against sister in Maureen Johnson’s tale.

Her grandparents' copy of Mysteries of the Unexplained is probably the genesis of her fascination with most things mysterious and/or inexplicable.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Life's a beach . . . and then you're undead?

in this must-have collection, five of today's hottest writers—Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), Claudia Gray (Evernight), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes), and Sarah Mlynowski (Bras & Broomsticks)—tell supernatural tales of vacations gone awry. Lost luggage is only mildly unpleasant compared to bunking with a witch who holds a grudge. And a sunburn might be embarrassing and painful, but it doesn't last as long as a curse. Of course, even in the most hellish of situations, love can thrive. . . .

From light and funny to dark and creepy, these stories have something for everyone. You definitely won't want to leave this collection at home!
