Give Yourself a Fright - Hardcover

"The author, dazzling in the sweep of her imagination and deft in the use of dialect and idiom, creates unique small worlds....The miracle of each story, however, lies in the quirky, cranky, blustering, but always intensely interesting, cast of characters who stream unstintingly out of the author's pen."--Horn Book.

re! Mischievous ghosts, ancient curses, and monstrous spirits inhabit these thirteen spine-tingling tales. Enter a world of fantasy where a blast of a whistle brings a boy from the past, where a ghostly awl perches night after night at the foot of your bed, and where a white seagull whispers the warning, "Listen." Each of these stories by Joan Aiken, a master of suspense, will chill and delight, lingering long after the book is closed.
