About this book
Prepare to be scared! Collecting the best of classic ghost stories from E.Nesbit to Ruth Rendell, this anthology is the perfect match to any Halloween party.
Spanning across the globe, from rural England to Colonial India this collection has a story for everyone. From a ticking clock in an empty haunted home, to a large white hedgehog that haunts guests’ bedrooms in the night.
Utterly terrifying and spine-tingling these masterfully told stories of supernatural horrors and springing terrors are the genre at its best. These stories however are not just written to scare – they also uneasily comment on human emotion and its capacity for evil – the most frightening thing of all…
