Horowitz Horror 1 (Horowitz Horror)

by Anthony Horowitz

It's a world where everything seems pretty normal. But the weird, the sinister and the truly terrifying are lurking just out of sight. Like an ordinary-looking camera with evil powers, a bus ride home that turns into your worst nightmare, and a mysterious computer game that nobody would play...if they knew the rules! Each story has a shocking sting in its tail...

Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

It's not always easy for an adult to give a YA book a fair review. The writing in these stories is simple and the theme of conflict between children and parents is perhaps over-exploited, but Anthony Horowitz achieves his objective. These are stories children can relate to. They take everyday situations, like playing computer games or going to a flea market, and put a nasty spin on them. Judging the book for what it is, a collection of nasty and creepy stories for young people, it deserves four stars.
