Spinechilling Stories

Terry Deary and Alan C McLean
(Longman)
978-0582211698, RRP £3.25, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "Spine Chilling Stories (Knockouts)" on Amazon

Here are three long stories, good for reading aloud I should think. McLean's 'Memory for the Future' sees Karen Webb with a typewriter that predicts not just future' race winners but murders and unexpected deaths as well. His other tale 'The Photograph' concerns a mentally-ill songwriter and a sinister adulteress/murderess, who moves from back to foreground with crushing consequences. Deary's 'Witch Green' revolves around the disappearance of young girls and a warlock vicar. This trio would probably find a place amongst similar material in a lower/mid-secondary library.
