摘要
Here is a collection both kids and grownups will be thrilled to share--13 original stories, all written by bestselling authors of adult fiction in collaboration with their children or grandchildren. Each wicked work is ghoulishly illustrated by Gahan Wilson, a master of the merry macabre whose work has been praised as "diabolically fine" (New York Times).

Gr 5-8-A unique concept for a horror anthology. Thirteen authors, many of whom are best known for their adult work (e.g., John Jakes, Ramsay Campell, and F. Paul Wilson), were commissioned to write short stories in collaboration with their children or grandchildren. Although all of the selections feature youthful protagonists, they vary widely in theme, style, and "scare quotient." Some are shockers in the "Goosebumps" (Scholastic) vein-giant spiders, alien abductions, and walking scarecrows. They feature lots of physical action, vivid emotional reactions, and usually gruesome conclusions. Other tales are evocative explorations of childhood terrors-darkness, closet monsters, and loneliness. They are less graphic and produce their own kind of terror. The young characters face their personal demons alone, and must rely on their problem-solving resources to defeat evil forces. Significantly, all of the stories of this type end successfully. Wilson's humorously eerie full-page black-and-white illustrations add shivers to the collection. The variety of stories should make the book popular, and the fact that it is an intergenerational collaboration makes it an excellent model for writing projects.æElaine E.

The editors invited thirteen well-known authors, including Jane Yolen and John Jakes, to collaborate with their children or grandchildren on short stories. With coauthors ranging in age from seven to adult, the subjects vary greatly, with the concept of 'spooky' not limited to ghosts and witches. Some end with traditional resolution and some with a twist, but all the stories contain an element of surprise. From HORN BOOK 1995, (c) Copyright 2010.
