Product Information

Timothy's aunt, who no longer loves her husband, has replaced the sun tan lotion with cooking oil, burning her husband's skin. Twist Cottage – A man goes to sinister lengths to rid himself and his son of his dreadful second wife by moving to a cottage haunted by the ghost of a witch who kills any woman who enters. He is also renowned for the Alex Rider series which has sold 19 million copies worldwide and is much cherished among his loyal readers.

In light of this, though younger fans will likely be the most enthusiastic about "Horowitz Horror," older fans can enjoy it as well. Shouldn't authors of children's book teach younger population to be friendly with all kinds of people?Later in the story a mysterious Japanese man appears with sushi, and the man himself is openly hated by the white family, who then proceed to describe the sushi as “disgusting” and feed it to their cat. I loaned this book from the library expecting horror-themed short stories, and what I got was indeed horrible, but in the badly written, blatantly prejudiced way rather than pleasantly spooky. Even as a child, this has always been my clear favourite - this story follows two brothers who board a sinister night bus who has no intentions in taking them home. I have always felt that it takes a huge potential to choose the right sentences to begin and end a story. Ranging from being generally awful to his mother and grandmother, to opening a farm gate in the hope the cows will escape.

The Lift (North American title: " The Elevator") – A police detective investigates the strange disappearance of a spoiled boy at Covent Garden tube station. Harriet's Horrible Dream – A rich girl's family no longer has enough money to support her and she has been sold to a restaurant owned by a family friend which serves human meat. A computer taken from a deceased horse-racing journalist has the power to predict horse-racing winners and even - the future. The writing in these stories is simple and the theme of conflict between children and parents is perhaps over-exploited, but Anthony Horowitz achieves his objective.

The collection is still worth a look for the aforementioned longtime fans, though, because author Anthony Horowitz puts a distinctive spin on the older plotlines he employs. Ethan then steals the computer and asks for the final prediction which fills the bar completely and leads to his demise. The Man with the Yellow Face haunts a sinister photo booth, but is he maybe trying to tell you something? Anthony Horowitz was brought up on horror stories and his childhood love of all things sinister and scary has stayed with him. The finale is Harriets Mother lamenting on her disappearance whilst her father gives her sarcastic reassurance whilst she enjoys her meal (supposedly Harriet) at at the restaurant.
