Review
Praise for Tales of Terror from the Black Ship: 'A fantastic page-turner, with a really scary ending' Independent on Sunday Praise for Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror: 'Scare yourselves silly ... recalls the best of Edward Gorey in wickedness and humour ... Perfect for reading aloud' Observer Praise for Dead of Winyter: 'A superb little ghost story ... it's quite chilling, and has the capacity to give children a pleasingly good scare. It would make a great book for reading aloud over a series of nights' SFX 'Open a Chris Priestley Gothic ghost story and what seeps from the pages, like mist from a desolate marsh, is his sheer love of the genre. This passion not only shapes a gripping story with well-rounded characters, but lifts the level of writing well above similar Victorian chillers ... Deliciously creepy with lots of twists and turns to keep young readers on edge' Daily Mail

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jaket by the author (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2'. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, WITHOUT DEDICATION, ON HALF TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, 'Signed Edition' sticker to front jacket, not price clipped (£10.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 218pp. Michael Vyner recalls a terrible story, one that happened to him. One that would be unbelievable if it weren't true! Michael's parents are dead and he imagines that he will stay with the kindly lawyer, executor of his parents' will. Until he is invited to spend Christmas with his guardian in a large and desolate country house. His arrival on the first night suggests something is not quite right when he sees a woman out in the frozen mists, standing alone in the marshes. But little can prepare him for the solitude of the house itself as he is kept from his guardian and finds himself spending the Christmas holiday wandering the silent corridors of the house seeking distraction. But lonely doesn't mean alone, as Michael soon realises that the house and its grounds harbour many secrets, dead and alive, and Michael is set the task of unravelling some of the darkest secrets of all. This is a nail biting story of hauntings and terror by the master of the genre, Chris Priestley. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 009437
