The Midnight Library

A series of Horror novels for young adults. They have all been written by different authors under the pen names "Damian Graves" and "Nick Shadow." Quite a few books have been published, but only eight have been published for the 2000s era. Each story revolves around the unfortunate tale of some kids who find themselves facing terrifying, supernatural threats, and each one leads up to a new ending that's bound to scar the reader's brains for quite some time. What makes the stories even more horrifying is that these are all kids suffering these fates. Eat your heart out, R.L. Stine. --

This series includes examples of:

 * And I Must Scream: The writers just love this trope.
 * Downer Ending: Nearly every single story.
 * Feathered Fiend:The parrot in "Man's Best Friend." Type A.
 * Wax Museum Morgue: "Blood and Sand."
 * Body Horror: "An Apple a Day."
 * Psychic Powers: A more terrifying example in "Voices." The Girl in the story has the power to read other people's thoughts,
