Reviews

Christmas traditions have long included the telling of grisly tales and The Spook's Bestiary by Joseph Delaney fits the bill . . . The illustrations and design of this book are stunning. It is a brooding and eerie collection of stories for reading in one sitting or dipping into -- Jake Hope * The Bookseller *
