Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 6^-12. Price has done an admirable job of selecting the two dozen stories in this collection: there's something for everyone, from the fainthearted to the hard-core genre fan. The collection includes works by such noted authors as Steinbeck and Poe as well as by familiar writers like Joan Aiken, Stephen King, Leon Garfield, and Price herself, with individual tales running the gamut from mildly unsettling to truly frightening. Leon Garfield's "A Grave Misunderstanding," Charles Dickens' "Captain Murderer," and Ellen Emerson White's "The Boy Next Door" are some of the most enjoyable. Filled with terrific Halloween read-alouds, the book will find a comfortable home in both classroom and library collections. The scratchy pen-and-ink drawings lend a suitably eerie tone to the stories and manage to make even teddy bears look malevolent. Chris Sherman
