Críticas

Splendidly spooky (The Scotsman)

A glorious collection of ghost stories (School Librarian)

A real page-turner ... brilliantly illustrated throughout (Families Magazine)

A satisfying collection and a pleasure to read aloud (Books For Keeps)

This is a glorious collection of ghost stories... Mould has a flawless gift for blending the new and the old into a single narrative voice. ... magnificent illustrations in full colour.... (School Librarian)

Brilliantly written with superb illustrations (Bournemouth Daily Echo)

Are you feeling brave? This is not just one screamingly scary story but 10 totally terrifying tales. Each story is a few pages long - perfect for getting REALLY frightened before bedtime or ideal for reading at a Halloween party and becoming perfectly petrified.
There's the story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (which will curl your toes up) or By The Fireside (which will make your hair stand on end) or A Bedtime Tale (which will make you shiver in your slippers). There's a good mix of old ghostly stories re-told and brand new spooky tales.
These aren't tales for the faint-hearted. But they are brilliantly written and illustrated with cool and colourful drawings.

Exceptionally high production values, an astounding level of attention to detail and a beautiful lovingly packaged gift box including ghastly stickers and a gruesome skeleton to hang, make this a spook-tacularly special gift set to give to ghouls and boys aike...

... marvellous anthology by the master of the macabre. A perfect book to read during long, cold, dark evenings

The vivid writing style with its formal tone and patterned language
makes this a satisfying collection and a pleasure to read aloud.
