Little Magic Shop of Horrors

(4) 4-6 Deadtime Stories series. Whether hunted by the local man-monster (Baskerville) or haunted by the spirit of a girl looking for her doll (Grave Secrets), the impetuous protagonists of each eerie tale face nightmares in these slightly updated reissues. While the novels rely too heavily on the formulaic conventions of the horror genre (elaborate cliffhangers, jolting plot twists), they succeed in raising hairs. Review covers these Deadtime Stories titles: The Beast of Baskerville, Grandpa's Monster Movies, Grave Secrets, Invasion of the Appleheads, Little Magic Shop of Horrors, and The Witching Game.
