Yes, faithful readers, it's been a long time since I blogged about an actual book I read. Last month was fail for me in the reading books category, but writing was a win. Luckily for me as I was too lazy to blog about the books I read in October I now have a back catalog of reviews to get through. So without further ado I present my take on Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror by Chris Priestley.
I'll make this short and sweet. I liked this book, it reminded me a lot of Ed Gorey's Alphabet. It was creepy without being to terrifying (it is a book geared to the younger crowd). I read this during the Readathon and it was a good book to start things off with. If you have a soft, rotten, decaying spot for ghost stories than I think you'll enjoy this book. If you have unruly children whom you wish to creep out, then this is a good book to read aloud to the little hellions.
Midnight Book Rating: 11:30pm- not quite the stroke of Midnight, but a great book to be reading when the midnight hour approaches *insert ghoulish laugh of your choice here*
