I love Clive Barker. I have lots of his books so it was nice to add this to the collection. The seller was amazing and my book was in great condition. No issues. Perfect.

A perfect Halloween read for kids!

I've known some people who think this book is inappropriate for kids because it's written by Clive Barker. Don't let that stop you! Barker has written terrifying works for adults, but this is a great spooky story for kids!
