The Chain Letter duology by Christopher Pike is a classic of YA horror. Chain Letter (1986) introduces a group of teenagers who receive a mysterious letter demanding they complete escalating tasks or face lethal consequences. The catch: they all share a secret that someone is determined to exploit.
The Ancient Evil (1992) continues the story with a supernatural twist that raises the stakes beyond anything the characters imagined. The two books capture Pike’s talent for blending teen relationships with genuine menace.
