The Stumps of Flattop Hill

They dared Florence to enter the haunted house on top of the hill. She is frightened, but Florence musters the courage to go inside. As she makes her way up to the top she finds many ghastly things along the way. Will she make it back out or be turned into a stump forever?The Stumps of Flattop Hill is a macabre tale of a little girl who enters the town's legendary haunted house in the face of fear. A dark tale for children in the tradition of the Brother's Grimm, it calls to mind the provocative illustration style of Edward Gorey. Scary and entertaining, this book challenges the idea of what children's books can be. Awarded the Literary Classics Children's Seal of Approval (May 2016)
