I am using this lesson with a collection of incredibly short stories. The book is called Half-Minute Horrors, a collection of scary stories from a wide range of authors (James Patterson, Margaret Atwood, Carol Gorman, Lemony Snicket, Jerry Spinelli, and R.L. Stine, to name a few). Each story is meant to be read in 30 seconds or less.
