American Chills is a short children’s horror series by Elizabeth Massie, with each book set in a different U.S. state. The two entries, Maryland: Ghost Harbor and Virginia: Valley of Vampires, were both published in 1995 and deliver spooky stories tailored to younger readers.

Each book uses its state setting as a backdrop for the horror elements, mixing local flavor with supernatural threats. The series is a predecessor to Massie’s later and more extensive Ameri-scares series, which expanded the state-by-state horror concept with eighteen books published between 2013 and 2024.
