Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror

About this book

This spine-tingling thrill-packed novel has more than enough fear-factor for the most ardent fan of scary stories. Uncle Montague lives alone in a big house but regular visits from his nephew Edward give him the opportunity to recount some of the most frightening stories he knows. As each tale unfolds it becomes clear that something sinister is in the air. From the account of a curious boy who intrudes on Old Mother Tallows garden to a shy girls ghostly encounter during an innocent game of hide and seek a pattern emerges of young lives gone awry in the most terrifying of ways. Young Edward begins to wonder just how Uncle Montague knows all these ghastly tales and ultimately discovers that his mysterious uncles life has a darker side than he ever imagined. This cleverly wrought collection of stories-within-a-story by Chris Priestly is perfectly matched in darkly witty illustrations by David Roberts.
