YA
Illustrated by
Dave Shelton.
This unsettling collection of eight ghost stories, framed by a ninth, will surely delight fans of the eerie and the macabre. A boy boards the wrong train and, lost, gets off at the next stop; he's soon joined by an old man who begins to tell a series of creepy stories. De Quidt gradually escalates the tension until a final, gut-wrenching twist.
