Last month, all Kanawha County Public Libraries held a Scary Story Contest for teens. Teens were given the option of writing a story or poem, which they then submitted to their local library where it was judged by a group of librarians. The categories judged were Scared Stiff!, Reflecting on the Season, Goosebumps on my Funny Bone and Overall Best Entry. Winners received a bag of goodies.

Below is one of the winning entries.
