Das Gruselhandbuch

A treasure chest of eerie stories, wonderfully spooky illustrated by Axel Scheffler and expertly translated by Mirjam Pressler. "If your teacher has been looking unusually pale lately and you have the impression that her canines are getting sharper, I advise you to start with the chapter on vampires immediately. Perhaps something can still be saved." Such good tips abound in this handbook, along with everything you need to know about ghosts, witches, zombies, and the other members of the great horror family. It is a reference work full of useful information that also reads like an exciting page-turner with its many amusing anecdotes. Additionally, the three classic horror books of world literature—Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—and their authors are presented in a child-friendly manner.
