Half-Minute Horrors (2009) is an anthology built around a single challenge: write a scary story short enough to read in half a minute. The book collects contributions from over seventy authors and illustrators, mixing big names in children’s publishing with literary fiction writers and celebrities. Tui T. Sutherland’s entry sits alongside work by R.L. Stine, Neil Gaiman, Lemony Snicket, and many others.
The anthology was edited by Susan Rich and published by HarperCollins. It became a popular choice for classrooms and libraries, where the ultra-short format works well for reluctant readers and read-aloud sessions. For Sutherland, it represents a side step from her usual adventure and fantasy work into horror, though the entry is brief enough that it functions more as a curiosity than a major part of her bibliography.
