Mister Shivers is a four-book series of short scary stories for early readers. Each book collects several brief tales built around classic horror setups — things lurking beneath beds, shadows in the woods, creepy dolls, and dark walks home. The stories are illustrated and designed for kids who want something spooky but age-appropriate.

Published between 2019 and 2022, the series fills a niche for young readers who have outgrown picture books but aren’t ready for full-length horror novels. Brallier keeps each story short and punchy, with twist endings that lean more toward fun than genuinely disturbing.
