Grade 9 Up-This first volume in a projected set includes eight short stories, all but one previously published. The flawless execution of plot and character clearly illustrates Westall's skill in spinning a tale. These are not slash-and-gore horror stories, but rather subtle, sometimes whimsical page-turners that are so fraught with tension. The contents range from the almost playful "Graveyard Shift," in which a cemetery custodian, who visits nightly with the spirits of the newly dead, has an ugly run-in with a vampire, to the truly frightening "The Last Day of Miss Dorinda Molyneaux," a tale about a corpse that vandalizes the tombs of his contemporaries and fancies little girls. The heavy use of Briticisms may cause confusion for some readers, but for horror buffs this book should prove to be a fine addition.
