Kate Culhane: A Ghost Story

(3) K-3 After getting her foot stuck in a grave, Kate must dig up the coffin and carry its occupant into the village, where he drains and consumes the blood of three brothers. Hague's watercolor illustrations convey the Weird Tales atmosphere of this gruesome Irish folktale, a good choice for older kids who want a really scary story.
