While many are happily preparing for their first days back at school, for others it's causing pure dread. The idea of learning a new routine, having to make new friends and impress new teachers, all while trying to survive life- can be unbearable. Not only are some battling the demons of their own self conscience, but new buildings and new school years can bring terrible horrors with the evil entities that lurk inside the halls of education.   

First, a killer fate

Followed by scary secrets

Then, gripped by fear

Finally in our featured story, dying to sleep
