Do you dare to read the Tales of Terror? A stunning and commercial
new paperback package for this chilling collection of short
stories, illustrated throughout by David Roberts and featuring a
gloriously creepy new cover! Uncle Montague lives alone in a big
house and his regular visits from his nephew give him the
opportunity to retell some of the most frightening stories he
knows. But as the stories unfold, another even more spine-tingling
narrative emerges, one that is perhaps the most frightening of all.
Uncle Montague's tales of terror, it transpires, are not so much
works of imagination as dreadful, lurking memories. Memories of an
earlier time in which Uncle Montague lived a very different life to
his present solitary existence... Can't get enough spooky stories?
Crack open the other thrilling titles in the Tales of Terror
series: Tales of Terror from the Black Ship and Tales of Terror
from the Tunnel's Mouth!
A beautifully illustrated guide to the fairy folk of the world,
with magical stories, maps revealing their locations and amazing
tales of close encounters. Do you think of fairies as small, winged
creatures? Well, they can be, but did you know that they can also
be tinier than ants or as large as humans? Many do fly, but others,
such as the goblin and the gnome, walk on the ground as we do.
Magical, mysterious and sometimes mischievous, fairy folk can be
found all around the globe. Beautifully illustrated maps pinpoint
the locations of fairies on every continent, whilst special feature
spreads take a closer look at fairy lore, fairy magic and rare
sightings. From Cornish pixies and Spanish goblins to the forest
gnomes of the Congo and the elf-like Veli of Fiji, welcome to the
wonderful world of the fairy folk!
