4-6Are You Scared Yet? series.
Illustrated by
Kelly Murphy
&
Antoine Revoy.
Ten short stories explore different haunted house scenarios, from a typical fun house and mansion to the more unusual doghouse and tea house. Varied settings and story lines allow for ghosts who are frightening, vengeful, lonely, and loving. The genuinely scary but often touching stories are accompanied by detailed black-and-white illustrations that deftly either ratchet up the spookiness or soften it.
