About the Author:
Susan Price is the acclaimed author of many books for children of all ages. In 1987 she won the Carnegie Medal for her novel The Ghost Drum and in 1994 was shortlisted again for Heads and Tales (both Faber). Her work draws inspiration from her native Black Country, where she still lives. Harry Horse is a political cartoonist, as well as being a writer and illustrator of children's books. His book The Last Gold Diggers was chosen as a Waterstone's Book of the Month. He lives in Edinburgh.
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
