5.0 out of 5 stars A master of short stories as well!, Dec 8 2004
By Pete Vere - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ribbajack (Hardcover)
I'm normally not a fan of the short story, especially when it comes to the adolescent light horror genre. I thought I would give this book a try, however, since the author is one of my favorites. He did not disappoint.

While the setting for most of the stories is modern, each of these is told in the tradition of the old folk tales. In other words, it is not just stories for the sake of chills, but rather each story has its own moral to share.

My favorite among the stories concerns the graffiti artist who decides to deface a museum that happens to be hosting a visiting display from Egypt. You can pretty much guess who the characters are gonna be, however, Jacques brings a fresh twist to the story that I wasn't expecting.

Another great story concerns the thugish kid who, on a dare, visits the local graveyard at midnight. Again, while the concept is old, Jacques manages to bring a new twist to the story. There are several other good stories.

I recommend this book as great for campfires in the summer, or sitting around the fireplace during the winter. And, as usual with Jacques, he keeps things clean so each of these stories can be told in the family, church groups, scout outings, and other organized youth activities.
