WELCOME ... For all of us there's a place where true horror waits—our own, personal Nightmare Room. You might find it anywhere—at home, at school, at the mall ... in your MIND. Take one step, shut your eyes—and you're there. You've crossed the line. You've crossed over, from reality to nightmare. I'm R.L. Stine. Let me introduce you to Danielle Warner. Danielle has been very tense lately. Anyone would be tense moving into an old house with long shadows, creaking doors, mysterious groans and whispers. And now, Danielle's brother Peter is frightening her. He is acting strange—strange and dangerous. And it might be Danielle's fault. Maybe she shouldn't have told Peter she wished she was an only child. Sure, she was only joking. But Danielle is about to learn a terrifying lesson. Sometimes your most evil wishes come true—in THE NIGHTMARE ROOM.
