Draft:Cyber Zone (book series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyber Zone is a series of children's horror Science fiction novellas authored by S.F. Black. The series contained six books which were published by Troll Books in 1997. It was apart of the wave of novellas published in the 1990's to cash in on the success of Goosebumps. However, this series is noteworthy as it focused more on SciFi and digital elements then other rival series like Graveyard School and Deadtime Stories.
