As scary and gory as Darren Shan, as gripping as R.L. Stevenson, a haunting adaptation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Chris Priestley lives in Cambridge with his wife and son. His novels are brilliantly original additions to a long tradition of horror stories by authors such as M.R. James and Edgar Allan Poe. Chris wrote one of the World Book Day books for 2011 and has been shortlisted for a variety of prestigious children’s book awards.
Praise for Mister Creecher: A brilliant counterpoint to
Frankenstein, compellingly written. Chris Priestley goes from
strength to strength
*Chris Riddell*
A dark, moving, creepy, funny tale about the making of a famous
monster . . . only not the one you think it'll be. Splendid gothic
stuff
*Kim Newman, author of Nightmare Movies*
Praise for the Tales of Terror books: A wonderfully nightmarish
journey of the imagination – old-fashioned storytelling at its
best.
*Daily Mail*
The gradual build-up of horror . . . is exquisitely done. My
insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed
the book
*Sunday Telegraph*
Praise for The Dead of Winter: Deliciously creepy with lots of
twists and turns to keep young readers on edge
*Daily Mail*
