This was a great read, and its a book on my shelf that I revisit fairly frequently - I would definitely recommend if you have a soft spot for the creepy. Each tale is intriguing in its own way and, although short, leave a larger impact than you would expect. My personal favourites are probably His Face All Red and Nesting Place. The rhythm in the language gave the stories an old, fairy-tale like feel. The artwork is fantastic. Emily Carroll has a distinct style and knows exactly how to create atmosphere with colour and light, at times the artworks melding with the black panelling around them to create deep shadows and the silhouettes of horrible creatures.
Probably not good for young children, but this definitely seems like the kind of thing I would have enjoyed when I was a little older, and something I enjoy I lot now as an adult!

I got through this whole book in half an hour because the stories are so easy to read.
The illustrations throughout are simply georgous and are full of colour- I couldn't stop looking at them!
The writing style is short and easy to understand, with creepy themes throughout- a perfect book to give any lover of spooky, campfire tales.
I would certainly read this more than once as the drawings are so lovely and eerie!
