I just finished reading Coraline by Neil Gaimen. It lives in the realm of cautionary children's stories. Coraline lives in that space at the end of the summer when boredom has created a landscape and parents don't always stop to pay attention. Finding a door that opens to a brick wall is just the first mysterious thing to show up in her life. Managing to go through it and finding her "other" parents and a more exciting version of her life is next. But things quickly turn scary as she realizes that the "other mother" is not what she seems and her real parents are missing. Really great, creative, spooky tale.
