Product Description
Faces in the night, evil statuettes, ghostly cemeteries, and talking heads. Don't look over your shoulder...This collection of stories all have a big surprise in store, so watch out for the ending - it's nasty! Extracted from "The Young Oxford Book of Nasty Endings", one of the best-selling books in the 'Young Oxford Books' series. It is a completely unique anthology of unsettling, clever, and slightly unnerving stories. It is a mix of the best of contemporary and established writers, with some newly commissioned stories. The authors include E. Nesbit, T.H. White, Ruskin Bond, and Alison Prince.
