Series: The Puffin Book Of...

A chilling collection of 14 ghostly stories with a glow-in-the-dark cover!

In this eerie and unnerving collection, you will find some eerily chilling tales of the supernatural. Distinguished authors Joan Aiken, Robert Westall, Susan Price and Michael Morpurgo are just a few of the highly acclaimed writers who have contributed stories to this spooky collection. We meet a baby ghost in Ursula Moray Williams' 'A Ghost of One's Own', a cheeky modern boy ghost in Marjorie Darke's 'Hi, It's Me', a Victorian girl ghost with disturbing powers in Jane Gardam's 'Bang, Bang - Who's Dead?' and even a cat ghost in Gene Kemp's 'The Passing of Puddy'. Each one makes the unexplainable and unbelievable so real it will send tingles down your spine and scare you witless!
