5.0 out of 5 stars Great book of spooky tales for children, July 15, 1998

This review is from: Ghosts and More Ghosts (Hardcover)

I discovered this book when I was the perfect age for it, and I *still* enjoy it today. It's a collection of ten stories about ghosts and the supernatural with a little fantasy and science fiction (i.e., Time Travel) thrown in. Some of the stories are scary ("Footsteps Invisible", "The Rose-Crystal Bell") while others are funny ("Mr. Milton's Gift", "Don't Be a Goose") and yet others are best described as wistful ("The Wonderful Day", "The Marvelous Stamps from El Dorado"). This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and I still think it's very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why is this incredible book out of print?, June 6, 2000

By

This review is from: Ghosts and More Ghosts (Hardcover)

I read this in 1974, in fourth grade, and the stories still give me the willies today! With the success of the Goosebumps series, and Robert Arthur's "Three Investigators" still in print, I am baffled as to why this is out of print. I guess that just makes it more of a treasure if you can find it! The moody illustrations added nicely to the macabre tone of the book - many fine, small details to pore over. Mr Arthur's writing reads much like an old time radio play would, which is not surprising...he wrote several scripts for the "Suspense" radio show towards the end of its' run. Also, if you like this book, try "Mystery and More Mystery" by the same author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Twilight Tales, February 11, 2011

This review is from: Ghosts and more ghosts (A Windward book) (Paperback)

A rose crystal bell that beckons the beyond...a lazy dreamer finds that his dreams become uncomfortably real and force him to work...

...a radio host decides that camping out overnight at the local "haunted" house will boost his ratings only to find out that his show brings him into contact with the very real denizen of the swamp next door...

...postage stamps that give new meaning to the term "AIRMAIL"... these are all slight-fright stories in the spirit of the old TWILIGHT ZONE TV series...

I was never scared, only absorbed reading these chilly stories so long ago...just chilly irony for the young...nothing more.
