Product Description
Review
This enjoyably spine-chilling collection of ghostly stories includes tales ranging from the haunting of an ordinary suburban house by a poltergeist to a 'Restless Tomb' in which coffins are mysteriously rearranged and strange changing faces that appear and disappear on the kitchen floor of a small house in southern Spain. Despite the shortness of the tales, the text is exciting and provides a real sense of danger, and illustrations including maps and diagrams add to the sense of these being genuine experiences. The cautious introduction and afterword for each story determinedly sit on the fence when considering their truth or otherwise, encouraging readers to decide for themselves what they will choose to believe and raising important questions about the significance of the paranormal and nature of storytelling. The dialogue is the least convincing part of these tales; much of it is modern and does not sit well with the geographical or historical ambience that the authors are trying to create. Still, these are satisfying stories that will be enjoyed by many children. The language is simple and the text arranged in short chunks, making this anthology ideal for reluctant readers and those experiencing difficulties. Ages 7-10 (Kirkus UK)
