Title: Seven Strange and Ghostly Tales
Post by: Skalrag of Marshank on August 17, 2011, 02:37:02 AM
I saw this one in the The Books section of the website, and I was wondering, can anyone who has read it say if it is good or not?

I read it and enjoyed it, though it was quite a few years ago now. I wouldn't say they're scary at all, they're mostly tales about bad kids who learn the consequences of their actions. They're rather clever. I'd say it's worth a read.

Yeah, she just about nailed it. ;D It is pretty clever. I loved the one about the graffiti artist! I won't say any more, because I don't want to spoil it for you. ;) I highly reccomend it.

I like the one with the graffiti artist too! Very clever. I also remember liking the one about vampires.

They should add these to the Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids TV show if they haven't already!

The one with the vampire kid name Vladimir was kinda boring and pointless to me, though.

yeah it is mainly about what not to do and what could happen its kinda predictable
Title: Re: Seven Strange and Ghostly Tales
Post by: Nightfire on March 16, 2012, 02:04:02 PM
It is predictable, yes. It just seemed kinda pointless, because it ended with
Spoiler
the main character, the kid, collapsing in hysterical laughter over how the mom vampire sounded exactly like his mom.

I really liked this book- there were one or two stories that gave me the willies (yes, I'm a huge wimp when it comes to scary stories), but nothing major. My favorite one was the one about the kid who lied all the time. What was his name? (Ugh- I have the worst head for names...)

It's just some little small stories that can be a little spooky.

Um, can you summerize one without giving away any big spoilers?

Well it's been a while since I've read it but it has like 7 or so stories dealing with little supernatural events or monsters, always with a moral to each story. They usually deal with children.
