Three intriguing little horror stories, suitable for young readers, but satisfyingly articulate and complicated for an adult. I particularly like #1 and 3: the first for its unreliable narrator, and the third for the sheer creepiness of its murderous child-ghost. A good introduction to the author of "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase."
