Excerpts from the “Read, Then Scream!” contest - including all the screams - and just 8 mins!

Never before in the history of Roanoke, VA have the most piercing screams unleashed from humans been so fervently sought after. We wanted to find the most terrifying, haunting, spine freezing, hair straightening howls of horror ever heard within our city limits. And we had some of the most blood curdling classic fiction paragraphs to stimulate and ensure the success of our search.

It all happened at Roanoke Public Libraries, October 27 2009.
