"San Souci groups together 30 tales that not only read well but also work as splendid choices for oral telling around a campfire, on a trip, in school, or at a sleepover." -- Booklist

Thirty spine-chilling stories from around the world provide plenty of shivers in this spooky collection. Curt up with old friends like Washington Irving's "Guests from Gibbet Island" and Charles Dickens's "Chips." Or make the acquaintance of "The Skull That Spoke" and "The Monster of Baylock" -- but beware of spectral visitors like "The Blood-Drawing Ghost." This exciting mixture of classic and contemporary tales from Mexico, China, Poland, Nigeria, and other lands near and far is perfect for hair-raising reading!
