Book Description
This spine-tingling 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, Edgar, give him the opportunity to recount some of the frightening stories he knows. As each tale unfolds, an eerie pattern emerges of young lives gone awry in the most terrifying of ways. Young Edgar begins to wonder just how Uncle Montague knows all these ghastly tales. This clever collection of stories-within-a-story is perfectly matched with darkly witty illustrations by David Roberts. Look for the other spine-tingling book in Chris Priestley's Tales of Terror series, Tales of Terror from the Black Ship!

Book Description
Here are fifty-eight blood-curdling tales, introduced by the master of suspense, the late Alfred Hitchcock. These suspenseful stories originally appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and in the words of the master himself, are "guaranteed to chill and unnerve". Tales of devious housewives, amateur detectives, thieves, executioners, a dead Indian, a phantom stagecoach, and many more fill these pages. The popularity of terror tales has absolutely sky-rocketed in recent years, and the stories in this volume were selected by the man that helped contribute greatly to that popularity. In the pages of this book are the works of those authors that Alfred Hitchcock himself felt met the high standard of writing and terror levels suitable for his own magazine. Whether terror stories are a new passion or one you've cultivated for years, this volume is a must have. From the man who brought us "The Birds" and "Psycho", here is a book of short stories guaranteed to make your heartbeat race in the dark hours of night -- if you dare pick it up after sundown.
