For a chilling story of beauty and mystery, read about a man who is haunted his whole life by the vision of a green door that leads to an enchanting garden in "The Door in the Wall" by H.G. Wells. You'll find humour, too, in stories such as Stephen Leacock's " 'Q.' A psychic pstory of the psupernatural."
With strikingly beautiful illustrations by Bill Slavin and Vesna Krstanovich, Chills and Thrills is sure to be treasured by young readers everywhere.
