The Young Oxford Book of Nasty Endings

216 pp. | Oxford | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-19-278151-0
(4) YA This collection of over thirty chilling stories, accompanied by suitably atmospheric pen-and-ink illustrations, encompasses a number of genres, including fantasy, mystery, and horror. Many of the tales concern adults, and the repeated technique of ending a story just before the imminent demise of a lead character becomes somewhat weary. A scattering of short dark comedy pieces is a welcome relief.
