Even More Short and Shivery: Thirty Spine-Tingling Tales

Author: retold by Robert D. San Souci
Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar

This is one in the darkly themed folklore collections edited by San Souci. One of the better ones, it eschews most of the stupid urban legends that the latter ones tend to feature strongly. And the illustrations aren't that bad, granted it's a book mostly for juniors. Each section has a drawing or two so one should expect them to be of quality. But a lot of the stories are obscure, which I tend to like, and are retold in nice ways.
