Description
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!

My insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed the book
Sunday Telegraph

Mesmerising, understated, and convincingly Victorian in tone ... A book for children who enjoy being frightened – and a perfect introduction to Saki and Edgar Allen Poe
Guardian

Throbs with sinister brilliance ... The art of the chilling, well-crafted ghost story is still alive and kicking
