Short & Shivery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Short & Shivery The Short & Shivery is a book with different stories. My favorite story is The Dead Mother. The main characters are the baby, the husband, and the dead mother. The Dead Mother is about mom who died while having her baby. The mother spirit would come back every night to visit her baby. I liked some of the stories in Short & Shiverys such as the story called The Dead Mother because the author described the characters very well. The author showed a lot of detail on how the house looked, and how the baby acted when it was crying. The other stories didn't have as much detail as the book The Dead Mother.
More Short and Shivery lives up to its name!

I purchased this book after reading my copy of the first Short and Shivery to tatters when I was young enough to go away to summer camp. This sequel continues the creepy tradition started by Mr. San Souci in the first book. Taking stories from around the world and re-telling them in a kid friendly format (with just enough scare factor to raise the hackles on any kid at camp) this sequel is just as good as the first book. Stand out stories in this volume are:Windigo IslandThe Rolling HeadThe Croglin Grange Vampire"Me, Myself"The Accursed Houseand The Thing in the WoodsAnother fine jaunt into introductory folklore for kids.
A WORTHY SEQUEL

The selection and telling of the stories is just as good as the original Short and Shivery. This series does not make the mistake of many other short story collections, which is that you see the same stories published over and over. This is a sophisticated telling of creepy tales you probably haven't heard already. Great for reading aloud to your kids, and the accompanying sketches are wonderful to look at.
