This book by Anthony Horowitz includes 18 short stories around 25 pages each. The setting of most of the stories occurs somewhere around England; most of them take place in a modern-day unnamed city. The characters are all mostly 10-15 years old and are almost an even split between boys and girls. They are all somehow dragged into each story that's supposed to be scary, and tortured in a psychological form. However, there is a reason this review is named "Horror-ish." Only about 3 of the 18 stories had any form of thrill factor to them. The problem in this book varies depending on the story, but most of the time the horror occurs because the main character buys something or meets someone evil in each story, and this causes them to have bad luck or worse. For instance, in "The Monkey's Ear" the main character bought a monkey's ear that granted wishes. Yet the ear didn't hear well and every time they wished for an item something slightly different appeared. For example they wished for a Rolls Royce and got a roll of rice. There is no one resolution in this book because they are all short stories. Each short story has its own horrific ending. For example in "The Monkey's Ear" the horror doesn't happen until the last 2 pages when the father wished his son would go away forever. Overall, this book is decent, but it is not very scary at all. It is a good introductory horror book if there ever was a thing.

my favorite month, october, is approaching. I love october because i love halloween, or anything horror related for that matter. I wanted to start getting in the horror spirit by reading some horror related books. I liked the idea of short horror tales. I bought a few books with short horror tales before and i would like only 4 or 5 stories out of the whole book. This was the exception.are the stories in this book scary? No not really. BUT they are very creative and entertaining. Its a book that is entertaining for me yet something tame enough that i can let my ten year old cousin read along with me. The stories are fun and creative. My favorite was "the hitchhiker". If you want some short horror stories that are fun and entertaining then this is the book for you.
Daughter loves mysteries in general and specifically really likes this book. She received this for Christmas and has been reading it every spare moment.
Anthony Horowitz is a very good writer.
