review 1: I am so glad I impulsively purchased this $1.99 nugget of ghoulish holiday fun! The book of short stories is meant for young readers, but it’s far creepier than anything you’ll see in the young adult section. It’s like the British version of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark." These morbid tales of killer snowmen, demonic dolls, and caroling ghosts are perfect for a night around the campfire surrounded by the winter woods. Come to think of it, that would be the most perfect Christmas Eve ever. Hmm…mental note for next year. Anyhoo, this book is definitely worth the peanuts that it’s going for online. If you’re a fan of gothic, atmospheric ghost stories by British authors like Susan Hill (Woman in Black) or Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book), give this one a read... more. Just remember to keep an eye on that fireplace. That persistent scuffling noise might just be pesky rats…but I wouldn’t be so sure!
review 2: I always enjoy Chris Priestley's tales of terror and this one was no exception. As I read these I always like them, then later on in the day the story will come back to me and I'll ended up really loving it. Which makes these books really great, you don't just forget them after your done. There are some nice spooky stories set around Christmas in this one that are sure to give you a chill. I think I liked Soot most of all, but I really did enjoy all seven stories. The only thing I will say, is that this is down as a children's book but most of the kids in these stories don't have too happy an ending. Unless your little one is a reader of things that go bump in the night I'd have a look first, unless you want them climbing into you bed with bad dreams! less
