About the Author
Anthony Horowitz was born in 1955 and sent to Orley Farm, a particularly vicious boy's preparatory school in North London, which gave him his first taste of horror. Afterwards he went to Rugby School and York University. He is probably known as a screen writer and his work includes Foyle's War, Murder in Mind, Midsomer Murders, Menace and Agatha Christie's Poirot.
"I've always liked horror," Anthony says. "I love those dark things that are always just out of sight . . . in the corner of your eye." But he is equally at ease with comedy, thrillers and even spy fantasies . . . his Alex Rider series has enjoyed worldwide success. All in all, he has written over twenty books for children.
For Orchard Books Anthony has written Horowitz Horror and More Horowitz Horror, two collection of scary short stories that will make your spine tingle! The stories are also available individually as Pocket Horowitz paperbacks.
Anthony lives in North London with his wife and two sons, Nicholas and Cassian.
A New York Times Best-selling Graphic Novelist, Tony Lee was born in West London, UK in 1970. Informed by a teacher that he had a comic book style of writing, (a comment meant more as an insult), Tony decided that one day he would write for comics.
Tony has written for a variety of mediums including Radio 4, The BBC, commerical television in both the UK and US, magazines and both local and national newspapers.
Since 2002, he has written for a variety of publishers including Marvel Comics, DC Comics/Zuda, Games Workshop, Panini Comics, Titan Publishing, AAM/Markosia Enterprises, Rebellion/2000ad and IDW Publishing amongst others, writing a variety of creator owned titles and licenses that include X-Men, Spider Man, Doctor Who, Starship Troopers, Wallace & Gromit and Shrek.
He is the writer of the ongoing Doctor Who series of comics from IDW, beginning in July 2009, and his award nominated, creator-owned miniseries Hope Falls was collected by AAM/Markosia in May 2009. His next book with them, From The Pages Of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula': Harker, was released in November 2009 to critical acclaim.
Added to this, Tony adapted Pride & Prejudice & Zombies into a graphic novel for Del Rey Publishing, with art by Cliff Richards - this was a New York Times #1 Bestselling Paperback Graphic Novel for May 2010 - he is also adapting Anthony Horowitz's Power of Five series into graphic format for Walker Books, the first - Raven's Gate is due out in late 2010, and he has adapted four Horowitz Horror books with Dan Boultwood for Hachette Children's Books.
His other book with Walker Books, Outlaw: The Legend Of Robin Hood (drawn by Sam Hart) was released in 2009 and has already been awarded a Junior Library Guild: Fall 2009 Selection, and 'best for 2010' awards from both the American Library Association and the New York Public Library in the USA, among others. In March 2010 it was announced that it was also a finalist for the Children's Choice Book Awards.

One of the Better Collections from the Horowitz Horror 1 & 2 Collections,
By James N Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scared (Horowitz Horror) (Paperback)
In 2008 Horowitz's publishers decided to republish his old 1999 Horror anthologies Horowitz Horror: Stories You'll Wish You Never Read and Horowitz Horror 2 (also published under the title More Horowitz Horror). But instead of just reproducing those two volumes in their entirety they chose to divide them up into separately sold smaller books containing usually two (but as is the case with book, sometimes three short stories). To annoy those who maybe have one of the anthologies already they decided that these new smaller books would be made up of one story from Horowitz Horror 1 and the other from Horowitz Horror 2. So if you plan on reading all these books it's obviously much better value for money to buy the two anthologies than all these books separately. Out of these smaller books this is one of the better story collections.The three stories in this book are obviously the title story Scared, as well as A Career In Computer Games, and Howard's End. All three stories revolve around a nasty, rude, bully, thief boy type character who gets his comeuppance. The first involves a boy named Gary who is visiting his grandmother's farm which he only agreed to visit by intimidating his mother into buying him a heap of CDs. He goes for a walk thinking of ways his can punish his mother and grandmother for his boredom and gets lost. As he tries to find his way back to the house nature starts to give him his comeuppance. A Career in Computer Games has loser Kevin who hardly ever goes to school and when he does bullies other kids, steals from them and vandalises their property for his entertainment. He spends his days in video arcades funding his past time through break and enters and other theft. He thinks he is a master game player. One day he sees an advertisement for A Career in Computer Games no experience necessary so even though he never had any intention of getting an honest job decides he'll check it out and if he doesn't like it, steal stuff during the interview. However this is not an ordinary company and as Kevin gets his comeuppance he will find out there are better game players than himself. Howard's End starts off with another bully, obviously named Howard who gets killed by a bus while running away from security guards after shoplifting some CDs. Howard is surprised to find out he is on a cloud and in a queue for the pearly gates. He had always assumed Heaven and Hell were fictional stories. Howard decides to use his bullying and ability to con and lie to get through the gates. If you've only read the Groosham Grange series this series of books is a little bit heavier in subject matter. Groosham Grange and its sequel The Unholy Grail are a bit more cartoony monster horror style than these more realistic thriller scare stories. |
