Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Imagine walking home from school one day and seeing a brain on the side of the road, a brain that, it turns out, is looking for a new home.

Or instead of paying attention to the teacher, you shoot a paper airplane across the room and accidentally rip a hole in the fabric of the universe. And what would you do if you discovered that your class reading group was actually recruiting kids with telekinetic powers? Tales from Beyond the Brainis a collection of thirteen spooky stories that are as outrageous as they are terrifying. It's a throwback to the weird tales of yesteryear, in the vein of Tales from the Cryptand The Twilight Zone, but with contemporary characters and settings. Getting an education has never been more dangerous.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
