Vampire Breath

Basement explorations rarely turn up anything worth the trouble, but Freddy Martinez and his friend Cara discover something unusual down there: a coffin with nothing inside it, sitting beside a small blue bottle marked "Vampire Breath." Their curiosity about the bottle soon proves to be a costly decision.

This is a Goosebumps story by R.L. Stine, the horror series for younger readers that is known for its short chapters and cliffhanger endings. The book is aimed at children and mixes spooky suspense with a light, playful tone.
