Rode out of spooky season with these 2 crackers. 👻
Very different scares, but both terrific reading.
A ghostly, supernatural punch in the guts from @Hickesy, and a frantic chase from a sinister entity by @edgechristopher, have seen me right.
Nice one, lads! 👍

There's nothing quite like a scary story on #Halloween 👻
But it turns out that horror fiction could have real benefits for young readers.
Here, Fear Files author @edgechristopher explains why 👇

ALT An illustration from the front cover of Fear Files: Hide and Seek featuring a child looking up at a scary monster-style shadowy figure, surrounded by glowing green lights. Plus a quote from author Christopher Edge: "Children use scary stories as a way to identify and master their fears - a crucial stage in child development - equipping them to deal with the real world"

I don't know why exactly, but as Halloween approaches the Amazon sales ranking for ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO is making me feel rather uneasy, so if you could help move the dial, I'd be most grateful! And ESCAPE ROOM and ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO are both currently half price there btw.
