A boy takes refuge in a sinister, crumbling castle and gets the shock of a lifetime.

An empty suit of armour goes out for a nice walk and gives people a nasty turn.

Spooks from the ghost train have a wonderful ride on the dodgem cars when the fairground's closed. A respectable bogey family are upset when an uncouth troll family move in next door.

These four hilarious stories are written in jaunty, catchy verse that's just right for beginning readers to tackle on their own. They have already proved their popularity with children who love the scary plots and the comic characters, and are now brought together in one book with delicious new drawings.
