Our Review Panel says...

This collection of spooky stories for children is a must-have for any school library. With 13 short stories, it is perfect for those who struggle with reading stamina or keeping up with longer narratives – while the book doesn’t skimp on suspense.

Each story has a slightly different take on the horror genre, with tales about zombies, werewolves and post-apocalyptic worlds. The short stories are perfect for using as extracts to unpick the writing techniques the authors have used. The book is likely to be in demand with children in Upper KS2 who enjoy the horror genre or for teachers wanting to offer an atmospheric story time session.
