I read this book for the first time when I was in middle school。 I had nightmares with 'El hombre de la cara amarilla' for a long time， and， now， more than ten years later， I had the opportunity to have it again in my hands。 It was as spooky as I remembered。 This book is hands down one of the best I've ever read， and even if some of the stories are a little bit childish， this is a super enjoyable reading。 I read this book for the first time when I was in middle school。 I had nightmares with 'El hombre de la cara amarilla' for a long time， and， now， more than ten years later， I had the opportunity to have it again in my hands。 It was as spooky as I remembered。 This book is hands down one of the best I've ever read， and even if some of the stories are a little bit childish， this is a super enjoyable reading。 。。。more

Read this for a quick horror fix。 Probably would have liked it more as an eight-year-old。

Un recién llegado a mi biblioteca más cercana。 Creo que si lo hubiera leído de más peque， me hubiera obsesionado。 Una antología con relatos cortos pero contundentes。 Finales un poco predecibles， pero muy apropiados al fin。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I loaned this book from the library expecting horror-themed short stories， and what I got was indeed horrible， but in the badly written， blatantly prejudiced way rather than pleasantly spooky。 The most egregious sin of this novel is the prevalent， disgusting racism which is bad even for the book’s 2008 release。“Harriet’s Horrible Dream” is about a rich young white girl being sold by her bankrupt parents to a shady restaurant owner， where she assumes she will be put to work。 It turns out however I loaned this book from the library expecting horror-themed short stories， and what I got was indeed horrible， but in the badly written， blatantly prejudiced way rather than pleasantly spooky。 The most egregious sin of this novel is the prevalent， disgusting racism which is bad even for the book’s 2008 release。“Harriet’s Horrible Dream” is about a rich young white girl being sold by her bankrupt parents to a shady restaurant owner， where she assumes she will be put to work。 It turns out however that she has been sold as meat to a restaurant for cannibals， in a very uninspired twist。 Upon arrival she is turned over to the head chef， who is an Asian man （suggested to be Japanese） who is described as having “pale orange skin and slanting eyes” and “a strong oriental accent”， which the author then tops off later by using the J-slur。The villains of ‘A Career in Computer Games’ are a Japanese couple （what does Horowitz have against Japanese people？？！） who described as very unpleasant looking with strange accents， and who manipulate the main character into having his soul transferred into an arcade game or something。 Just another story where people of colour exploit and manipulate a white child I guess。‘The Monkey’s Ear’ is about another white family who visit a market in Morocco where the son buys a cursed monkey’s ear that grants wishes from a money-hungry sales person， who is a conglomeration of racist stereotypes。 Later in the story a mysterious Japanese man appears with sushi， and the man himself is openly hated by the white family， who then proceed to describe the sushi as “disgusting” and feed it to their cat。The racism is amplified further by the fact the audiobook’s narrator felt the need to affect extremely stereotypical， awful “Asian” accents one would expect in a horrible shock comedy show from the 90s。There’s also a lot of casual fatphobia in this book as well， where being fat is used as a very common indicator of somebody being unpleasant。 The main character of ‘Bath Night’ speaks badly about her best friend who is overweight， and says how she herself used to be fat when she was 9 but now is “getting in shape” and dieting at the age of 12。 I don’t think I need to explain how harmful it is to perpetuate the idea that young children， girls in particular， should be concerned with their weight， let alone be engaging with toxic diet culture when they are literally still growing and developing。These are just the most glaring issues that stood out to me， not even touching on how juvenile the writing style was， and the extremely lacklustre， predictable stories that weren’t even a little chilling。 The scariest thing about Horowitz Horror is the glaring racism and the fact it somehow made it through the publishing process。 I genuinely wish I could un-read this。 。。。more

Quite an enjoyable collection of short stories， all well-told and with a sinister edge to them。 My absolute favourite was the very last one， The Monkey's Ear， which is based off The Monkey's Paw （and actually references it） - absolutely brilliant and left me with a smile！ A recommended read for anyone who loves classic horror tales。 Quite an enjoyable collection of short stories， all well-told and with a sinister edge to them。 My absolute favourite was the very last one， The Monkey's Ear， which is based off The Monkey's Paw （and actually references it） - absolutely brilliant and left me with a smile！ A recommended read for anyone who loves classic horror tales。 。。。more

This book has 9 short horror stories all based out of London。 While I enjoyed some of the stories， I felt the writing was a little repetitive at times。 Not a bad book but not my favorite。

This book consists of total 9 stories， a few of them are pretty good。 Harriet's Horrible Dream， The Man with the Yellow Face， and The Monkey's Ear are the best 3 in my opinion。 This book consists of total 9 stories， a few of them are pretty good。 Harriet's Horrible Dream， The Man with the Yellow Face， and The Monkey's Ear are the best 3 in my opinion。 。。。more

El cuento que abre el volumen es fantástico， con un final que me recordó a los episodios de Dimensión Desconocida。 El asunto no tan bueno es que la mayoría de los cuentos van por la misma línea: un objeto maligno que desata la tragedia; por lo tanto， se vuelven un poco predecibles。 De todas formas， es una lectura que a los adolescentes les vendrá de maravilla。

I read this book many years ago and it was such a nostalgic read， I really enjoyed it。 Some of the stories were actually a little spooky and rather silly in the best way， each one just as entertaining as the last。

snappy tales horror regarding haunted objects and terrible children getting their just deserved。 Fans of Goosebumps and R。L Stine will definitely enjoy this book。 My two favourites are “The Night Bus” and “The Man with the Yellow Face”。However， despite some chilling chapters and speedy scares some of the stories could have had greater potential and more depth。 Below I have given my verdict on each story and my alternate view on what could have made it better。 You can have quick look at my thoughts and alternative views as you read each one。 🚨SPOILERS ALERT🚨 Bath night 2/5- Anthony uses effective imagery techniques to make the bath and Isabella’s visions horrifying and frightening。 However， the premise of the story of a haunted item causing distress to the narrator is a extremely repetitive cliche that has been used in countless horror stories。 Anthony ends the story with a prelude to Isabella being admitted to a mental hospital and Isabella’s dad developing murderous intentions。 I feel this was too sudden a twist and wasn’t fully explained or justified。 For example， why didn’t the bath affect Susan Martin？A better twist would have been if Belinda had sabotaged the bath and convinced her it was haunted because she was jealous of Isabella’s popularity。 Because of this，Isabella slips and accidentally drowns in the bath from fear and anxiety。 The narrative then shifts to Belinda thinking about how foolish and stupid Isabella was of thinking the bath was haunted whilst entering her own bathroom。 This is until she pulls back the shower curtain to see the ghost of Isabella waiting for her revenge。 Killer Camera- 1/5 A alternate version of R。L Stine’s bestseller “Say Cheese and Die”。 I don’t necessarily mind when authors take inspiration from other stories as every good story is often inspired by another。 However， I feel “Killer Camera’s” entire premise is exactly the same as “Say cheese and Die” with a camera snap that leads to misfortune to the objects or people snapped。I also feel that Matthews discovery of the contents of the film tape was heavily macabre and too dark-natured for a middle grade story。 The ending twist was a unique surprise but theoretically speaking the King family would still be intact as they were not in the picture。 It would have been better if Jamie had snapped a picture of Matthew when he wasn’t looking。 The ending is Matthew’s diary entry anxiously detailing him waiting for what terrible fate will befall him。Light moves 1/5A computer that successfully predicts racehorse winners was a interesting and unique idea。 I also liked the moral consensus of the story that teaches kids a valuable lesson。 However， I feel the story was overtly complicated and the ending leaves more questions then answers。Is the ghost of Ethan haunting the computer which is why it can predict the winners？ Did the computer end up killing Ethan？ Why didn’t Henry befall a similar fate？ Did the computer target Ethan because of his poor behaviour？ I feel it was a confusing version of “killer camera” with a haunted object causing misfortune to the user。 It would have been better if after each prediction by the computer a loading bar is partially filled。 Henry continues asking for predictions and the bar continues to rise until it is close to the limit。 Ethan then steals the computer and asks for the final prediction which fills the bar completely and leads to his demise。 The night bus 5/5A ghoulish busload filled with the undead accidentally boarded by two naive young children。 A Vividly imagined journey with the introduction of quirky characters makes this short story enticing and engaging。 I really liked that the bus passengers consisted of ancient and recent undead people each entailing their unique stories。 Rosemary’s final revelation is sure to send shivers down your spine long after finishing the story。 My only criticism is that there were quite a few hints that the people on the bus were not living。 There could have been a bigger shock factor had it been made less obvious that the passengers were dead。 Also， it would have good if Nick and Jeremy nearly get run over by a car before they jump onto the bus。 It would have been a good tie-in to how they were able to see the bus and get on board。 Harriets Nightmare- 1/5A terrible dream actually turns out to be reality for a spoilt girl。 The story was predictable and it was obvious that Harriets bad behaviour would lead to some Calamity。 The twist in the end wasn’t very effective as it just confirms the readers suspicion that it isn’t a dream。 Would have been better if Harriets father owned the Sawney Bean and she had eaten from there many times。 However， when she realises the actual ingredients used he has no choice but to make her part of the dish。 The finale is Harriets Mother lamenting on her disappearance whilst her father gives her sarcastic reassurance whilst she enjoys her meal （supposedly Harriet） at at the restaurant。Scared 1/5A simple tale about a ignorant teenager being punished for his behaviour。 Also， there isn’t a explanation given as to why Gary became a scarecrow。 Would have been better if Gary’s grandma warns him about nature’s creature and why he should respect the countryside。 Gary ignores the warning and goes for a walk we’re he is ambushed by wasps， attacked by a bear and constantly tripped by moving grass。 He finally returns to Pyre hall were he violently confronts his grandma about his ordeals。She discloses to him that she is the creature he was warned about and now he has returned she will make good of her warning。 Gary is turned into a tree by his grandma and planted outside。 Gary then has to endure the pain of seeing other ignorant children snap his branches and pull his leaves。 A career in computer games- 2/5Troublesome young people being taught a terrible lesson seems to be a continuous theme for Anthony in this book。 Big corporate companies using unethical practices is somewhat common which gives a little bit of realism to the story。 I also liked how Anthony challenges the myth of success without struggle。 For example， Kevin genuinely believes he deserves a high-paying job and career despite his ignorance and lack of skills。 It’s a myth that a lot of young people get sucked into which makes them make a lot of poor decisions in life。I feel the story could have been more developed particularly when Kevin becomes a part of the game。 For example， the men in the suit shoot Kevin’s family and Kevin feels remorse for his past selfishness。 Or Mr。Go puts Kevin into a false sense of security by making his first challenges easy。 But as the difficult rises Kevin realises that he might not make it out alive。 Also， Mr。Go specified that they needed him for a prototype game that they were producing。But at the end of the book Kevin is referenced to being in a arcade machine。 I didn’t quite understand the quick transition between the two differing environments 。 The man with the yellow face- 5/5 Anthony seems to have a talent for telling superb horror stories about transport vehicles 😂。 Excellent narrative， superb tension and a spine-tingling conclusion which brings focus to the whole storyline。 From the minute Peter sees the picture of the deformed face smiling your instantly bombarded with horror and dread on it’s origins。 The photo booth is presented as being haunted or a somewhat diabolical machine。 I initially thought the story would pan out similar to “killer camera” or “bath night” with a object having a sinister origin story or motive。The story then continues and Peter sufferers the crash which leads to his facial deformation。 I liked the nonchalant tone Anthony uses prior to the crash as many misfortunes in life often often occur without warning。 Finally Peter reveals he is the man with the yellow face thirty years onwards looking in the mirror。 It is stated in a nonchalant and positive manner which a complete contrast to his prior state of shock and disgust thirty years before。 And this is one of the reasons I really enjoyed this story。 Had seeing the picture somehow put Peter at emotional ease as it somehow prepared him for what was going to happen？ Had he not seen the picture， with his parents going to divorce would the accident have tipped him over the edge psychologically？ After all， the picture showed the old man smiling so was it a premonition of hope that things would work out eventually？ These questions change the narrative of the story and provide it with more mystery and moral then horror and disgust。 It becomes a short life lesson of being grateful of what you have and making the best of the situations you find yourself in。The Monkey’s Ear- 1/5A wish granting object that isn’t as effective as it should be。 The Monkeys Ear is a simplistic story of a defective Aladdin’s lamp possessed by morally defective parents。 The reason why the child in the antique shop sold the item to Bart despite his father telling him he wasn’t allowed to wasn’t fully explained。 A character accidentally saying “I wish for [insert misfortune] whilst forgetting they are holding a wish-fulfilling item is a classic trope that has been used many times。 What would have been more frightening is if the item was sold purposefully to the Brendan family。 But the seller subtly remarks he will be getting another one。 As the Brendan family use the monkeys ear for their wishes they start to get hairier and more animalistic。 After they complete the final wish they are turned into monkeys。 They are then transported back to the Morocco zoo to live out their lives。 The final chapter closes with the seller removing their ears to trick another vulnerable tourist。 。。。more
