Description

Thirteen chairs around a table in a haunted house: thirteen chilling ghost stories to send shivers down the spine of all but the strongest-hearted. Guaranteed to chill you to your bones. When a boy finds himself drawn into an empty house one cold night, he enters a room in which twelve unusual-looking people sit around a table. And the thirteenth chair is pulled out for him. One by one, each of those assembled tells their own ghost story:nbsp; tales of doom and death; of ghostly creatures and malevolent spirits; of revenge and reward. It is only at the end of the night that the boy starts to understand what story he must tell... This spine-tingling collection of ghost stories is the second offering from award-winning author and illustrator Dave Shelton.
