Review

Blurb

Herein lie twenty-six stories.

Twenty-six stories originating from myths, folklore, fairytales, urban legends, and personal experiences.

Twenty-six stories that include strange animals, odd humans, holiday spooks, and classic monsters.

Twenty-six stories that will chill you to your bones!

This is a book aimed at pre-teens and I can guarantee they will definitely have shivers, scares, and goosebumps. It can either be read by the reader themselves our out loud during sleepovers or camping trips. The twenty-six stories are eclectic but what they have in common is they are all expertly written by an author who is a master wordsmith. Each story is illustrated by the author herself and these sketches bring the stories vividly to life. There is great attention to detail and each story is intense and chilling. I love the way some of the stories have actions at the end for those reading them out, which ups the chill factor even more, yet they do so knowing the child is in a safe environment in the real world. It allows them to explore fear, knowig that they are ultimately safe. If you know a pre-teen who likes scary stories, then this is perfect. I can assure you; they scared this adult.
