Curl up with old friends like Washington Irving's Guests from Gibbet Island or Charles Dickens' Chips. Or make the acquaintance of The Skull That Spoke and The Monster of Baylock--but beware of spectral visitors like The Blood-Drawing Ghost. This exciting mixture of classic and contemporary tales from Mexico, China, Poland, Nigeria, and other lands near and far is perfect for hair-raising reading

Twenty deliciously eerie illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers highlight this companion to Robert D. San Souci's earlier collections of scary stories, Short & Shivery and More Short & Shivery, which School Library Journal called an absolute delight.
