Chris Priestley returns with more Tales of Terror
Chris Priestley returns with a third collection of short stories to chill and thrill. Perfect reading for young readers who like their tales to have terrible twists, Chris Priestley’s horror stories also take adults back to the days when a simple story could keep you awake all night.
In Tales of Terror from the Tunnel’s Mouth, young Robert is heading back to school and taking the train alone for the first time. When the train stops at the mouth of an ominous tunnel, a strange woman in white begins to tell Robert stories to calm the heart. These are stories about flesh-eating plants, creatures living behind cracks in the wall, and puppets with minds of their own.
The combination of Chris Priestley’s deliciously dark stories and David Robert’s exquisite illustrations give their books a cool gothic-style appeal. A definite must for readers of all ages who enjoy the feel of shivers down their spine.
Bloomsbury have kindly sent Fantasy Book Review a review copy of Tales of Terror from the Tunnel’s Mouth and the review will be live on the site in the next few days.
Chris Priestley is the author of Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror and Tales of Terror from the Black Ship, both published by Bloomsbury. Chris lives with his family in Cambridge and is currently writing a long ghost story.
David Roberts is an award-winning illustrator who has worked with a huge variety of authors, including Georgia Byng. He is the creator of the Dirty Bertie series. David has illustrated two other books by Chris Priestly for Bloomsbury and he lives in London.
