Derek Landy, Philip Reeve, Joseph Delaney, Susan Cooper, Eleanor Updale, Jamila Gavin, Mal Peet, Matt Haig, Berlie Doherty, Robin Jarvis and Sam Llewellyn have come together to bring you eleven ghost stories: from a ghost walk around York; to a drowned boy, who's determined to find someone to play with; to a lost child trapped in a mirror, ready to pull you in; to devilish creatures, waiting with bated breath for their next young victim; to an ancient woodland reawakened. Some will make you scream, some will make you shiver, but all will haunt you gently long after you've put the book down.

Brilliantly spooky ghost stories from the chilling pens of some top children's writers. These will leave readers just a little bit more wary of the world than when they began the collection. (Julia Eccleshare LoveReading4Kids, Book of the Month )
Short stories are the perfect vehicle for a chilling slice of horror. An excellent balance of traditional and modern and a perfect pocket-money purchase for winter evenings. (Daily Mail )
Plenty to haunt the mind. (Carousel )
Readers who enjoy short stories are few and far between, but this just might be a book to change a few minds. The stories are, without exception, wonderful told and definitely - haunting! (Armadillo Magazine )
Anyone who has guests round for Halloween and is searching for a good tale to read aloud, needs to look no further than Haunted. (CORK EVENING ECHO )

Haunted is an anthology containing scary short stories from some of todays best children's writers and it makes for perfect Halloween reading. Immerse yourself in stories of haunted prisons, demon worshipers, trapped ghosts, demon dogs and even a spooky beach hut. These stories may be short but they're all well written and there are some great twists in there too.
Stand out favourites for me included Good Boy by Mal Peet, The Beach Hut by Robin Jarvis and The Ghost Wood by Philip Reeve but I enjoyed each of the stories and The Ghost Walk by Matt Haig brought back memories of the ghost walk I did in York a few years ago. Anthologies are a great way of trying new authors and I've definitely found some I want to add to my to read pile with this one.
If you're a horror fan then you'll love Haunted although if you're a bit of a wimp like I am you may find you only want to read it in daylight! Treat yourself to a fright this Halloween & pick up your copy today.

Format:Paperback
An original collection of short stories, by mainly well known children's writers on the theme of ghosts, all interpreted in different ways; many taking the idea of souls in limbo as the main thrust. I found Derek Landy's a slight cheat in that he's obviously taken the idea of the Death Eaters from Harry Potter, but called them Soul Eaters who fill a similar role, whilst Eleanor Updale's "Ghost in the Machine" was quite a clever twist on using modern technology in a less than modern world; Berlie Doherty's even includes a song with words and tune. Some were creepy, but mostly they were an OK read, but nothing special.

Here are 11 excellent short stories from some of the very best authors currently writing for children and young adults.
Short stories are not as popular as they once were, but this collection could well do something to change that. Each one is well told and original. A murdered girl needs to see her killer brought to justice before she can move on,a family go on a very ghostly ghost walk around York and there is even a haunted beach hut!
