The Haunted House

Come in . . . if you dare. . . .Every kid who has ever lived in the house at 66 Brown's End agrees that it is haunted; but no one agrees on the kind of haunting that goes on there. Lyssa hears a strange crying in the night coming from the basement in Mary K. Whittington's "Somewhere a Puppy Cries." In Bruce Coville's "Biscuits of Glory," Benji Perkins encounters a spirit in the kitchen. Jason is taunted by a mischievous bathroom ghost in "And the Light Flickered" by Barbara Diamond Goldin. While the spooks in these seven mysterious tales may lurk in different rooms, the fear is always the same. Grown-up always make excused, but the children known the haunting is real.

Jane Yolen and Martin H. Greenberg, editor of Things That Go Bumb In The Night, Vampires, and Werewolves, have assembled another creepy collection of stories that will have readers wondering just what that strange noise in the next room really was.
