My Review
This was a wonderful collection of short stories aimed at a young adult audience. I really enjoyed them as an adult. Yes there were short and sweet but this is perfect for the target audience of 11 + . It's a great introduction to horror as it is mildly scary with just the right amount of chilling to satisfy new readers. I would call it a test the waters book. The book definitely allows the reader to take on board the story and embellish it a little to tell there friends on sleep over. I did like the pictures to show the start of the next story . I just would of liked to see the title of each story after each picture. I applaud the authors attempt at a first novel and look forward to them moving on to creating another with larger storyline . I actually enjoyed the fact they didn't overly go into characters details as this added to the air of mystery created in the stories.
Many thanks to the author and publishing team for creating this great collection of short horror stories that I an sure young readers will enjoy.
