Chills in the Night

Certain to prickle the skin and haunt the memory, these stories are ideal for sharing by reading aloud.In her second chilling collection of ghost stories for DK, Vivelo delves once again into the mysterious nature of human life- and death- in eight eerie tales. A Game of Statures has an unnerving, icy effect on a young boy's classmates. A Dog Named Ransom helps to reveal a critical clue in a murder mystery. And a young girl and her classmates discover that nothing is scarier than When Nothing's There at All. Every one of the eight strange and scary movies in this volume transcends ordinary ghost story fare. They are works of literary quality that achieve their effects by unearthing and exploring the unusual-and sometimes awful-powers of the human psyche.
