Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5?Amityville has nothing on The Close at 66 Brown's End. Each story in this spooky collection is set in a different room as a succession of owners encounter otherworldly housemates. In the kitchen, a cursed cook bakes highly unusual biscuits. An invisible puppy cries in the basement. A ghostly electric train runs in the attic. The connecting theme works well, although some readers may wonder why the house changed hands so many times. The short original tales range from chuckles to chillers and are reminiscent of campfire storytelling. Appropriately scary, photoreal black-and-white drawings accompany each selection. With no gratuitous violence or gore, this is a fine alternative to popular horror series.?Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL

From Booklist
Gr. 3^-6. Readers who like R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series will thoroughly enjoy Yolen and Greenberg's latest collection of original scary stories. The premise is intriguing: over the years, seven families have moved into the house at 66 Brown's End, and each time, a child has discovered a different ghost. Yolen, Bruce Coville, Barbara Goldin, Mary Whittington, Janet Gill, and Anna and Gary Hines have loaded the house from basement to attic with spirits of all sorts--from abandoned ghost puppies to an insatiable gourmet ghost. The stories are all wonderful--eerie and unsettling enough to be satisfying, but lightened with humor. A great collection for young horror fans. Chris Sherman

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Haunted House: A Collection of Original Stories (Paperback)
This book is about a ghost. In every story there is a different ghost. Every kid that has lived there has agreed that it's haunted. I liked it because I like ghost stories.
