Dust 'n' Bones: Ten Ghost Stories

Kids should be prepared to be scared! This collection contains 10 terrifying tales—some classic chillers, and some brand-new bloodcurdlers. Making classic ghost stories accessible to a younger audience, this book contains 10 tales, five retold favorite ghost stories—from Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart—and five original ghost stories by Chris Mould. Illustrated throughout in color and black and white, this creepy collection is a perfect primer for the whole genre, and a great present for mischievous boys and girls.
