Highlands Horror Collection

Our horror books are in the library near the fiction books.  You can see them on a spinner here.  Famous horror writers for younger teenagers are Anthony Horowitz and Anthony Horowitz but there are many more in the library.

What would you normally find in a horror story or fiulm.

One of the first horror writers of all time was Edgar Allen Poe.  He was one of the first writers to use ghosts, tombs and haunted houses in his work.  Here is an introduction to his work and style.  You probably will be familiar with it! He has a famous poem The Raven which is about a man who is haunted by a bird who is a ghostly symbol of death.  The Simpsons did a famous Halloween special version of this one. 

You challenge today is to choose a horror story from the ables in the library and to write a short review of it here to earn your postcard.
