They Call Me Creature is the fifth book in the Nightmare Room series and in this volume we join Laura Atkins animal love and nature enthusiast on a horrifying journey into animal experimentation with a strange twist you can only get by entering The Nightmare Room. Laura lives in the country with her father who is a vet and loves walking in the woods and seeing the plants and animals...she's' even working on science project for the ecosystem around the lake in the woods, but she's been hearing strange sounds in the woods and there just aren't any animals around to photograph. Even more disturbing is that her father is spending all his time out in the shed since he lost his job...he's not as nice to her, losing his temper with ever increasing frequency.

Laura enlists the help of his dad's old boss and is trying to become friends with the cute new boy in the area, Joe. So much going on and as the woods become more frightening will Laura be able to figure out exactly what's going on in the woods? With her father? Will Joe come to her birthday party? You'll have to read to find out.

Overall, this is one of the better Nightmare Room books. It's got a couple of the signature Twilight Zone-esque twists, there's actually a bit of atmosphere and well, with suspension of belief, the events are actually scary. I give it four stars. They Call Me Creature is a solid horror story that delivers chills! ( )
