You've seen them on the TV, now read the original stories! This is the second in the Grizzly Tales series of books. A raucous book filled with ghosts and ghoulies designed to terrify your pants off. Luscious writing spiced up with injections of carbolic humour. From spooky school dinners to the grubbiest ghost in the world, here are fifteen scary tales full of ghostly, ghastly, gruesome goings on. So if you like to send a shiver up your spine, read on...if you dare. Includes Grandmother's Footsteps, The Tangled Web, The Locked Door and The Ghost of Christmas Turkeys Past.  Grizzly Tales For Gruesome Kids is a series of modern morality tales for children. In each cautionary tale a horrid, sadistic, brute of a child meets his or her deservedly grotesque end. "Be warned – Jamie Rix's splendidly nasty short stories can be genuinely scary, but as the protaganists are obnoxious brats with names like Peregrine and Tristram, you may find yourself cheering as they meet their sticky ends." Independent on Sunday  "These are moral tales told in a honey-lush prose spiced with salutory bolts of carbolic and with an amoral relish for the deserving victims' ghastly Nemeses." Books For Keeps  "Mix Dahl with Belloc and you can anticipate with glee these tales of Jamie Rix. Even William Brown's antics pale beside noisy chocoholic Serena Slurp..." Daily Telegraph  "Fifteen well-crafted stories each show how the disorderly and the fantastic lurk just beneath the ordinary and the workaday. A smashing summer evening's dipping-into trove this one." The Guardian
