The Curse of Bloody Mary, by Barbara Gozzi

Four children haunted by an ancient curse: who will be the next to die?

Viola has just moved to Sanguinara, a small town on the shores of a lake with dark, unsettling waters. As if that strange atmosphere weren’t enough, her start at her new school isn’t exactly the best. Since she arrived, strange things have started happening: lamps falling from the ceiling, chairs suddenly breaking… and Viola and three of her classmates, Salvo, Angelica and Luca are always involved in these inexplicable incidents.
And that’s not all. Viola has the impression that someone is watching her all the time, and often hears a voice calling her, as if it were trying to get her to come closer… but to who?
What is happening?
After horrendous misadventures and clumsy investigations, the four children will discover that the ghost of Bloody Mary, the witch burned at the stake centuries earlier, is hunting them! And that they’ve been condemned by a terrible curse…

The Legend of Momo, by Daniele Nicastro

When you’re alone on the phone, the monsters see you and you don’t notice they’re approaching until it’s too late

Francesco certainly isn’t a popular boy, and the two school bullies know it well and take advantage of his crush to challenge him: they’ll give him the beautiful Mariana’s number, only if he’s brave enough to contact Momo, the nightmare of WhatsApp.
The boy doesn’t think twice: exchanging a few messages with a stranger doesn’t seem like anything serious! What Francesco doesn’t know, however, is that in reality, it’s not just a harmless creepypasta. Momo, with her bulging eyes and that creepy smile, is a real, bloodthirsty, insatiable monster who will force him to take on frightful tests under horrible threats.
And the worst part is that nothing seems to be able to stop it…
