Horowitz Horror

Product Information

It is then revealed that the hitchhiker was actually a gardener for the lunatic asylum, and that his name is Mr. I initially thought the story would pan out similar to “killer camera” or “bath night” with a object having a sinister origin story or motive. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The stories are set in England, but references to 'sidewalk', 'paper route' (meaning round) and 'public school' (meaning comprehensive) soon make it clear that the original language has been Americanised. I found this story rather eerie - well plotted, surprise ending - overall, a good story and probably the scariest in the collection.

An original thriller, Magpie Murders was published last year and got some of the best reviews I've had. The scariest thing about Horowitz Horror is the glaring racism and the fact it somehow made it through the publishing process. The finale is Harriets Mother lamenting on her disappearance whilst her father gives her sarcastic reassurance whilst she enjoys her meal (supposedly Harriet) at at the restaurant. I liked the shortest horror story ever written because it was clever how it spelled out "I am going to murder you". If the first letter of each sentence is put together, then the phrase "I am going to murder you soon" is spelled out.The narrative then shifts to Belinda thinking about how foolish and stupid Isabella was of thinking the bath was haunted whilst entering her own bathroom.

Finally Peter reveals he is the man with the yellow face thirty years onwards looking in the mirror. Two boys trying to get home after a late night party jump on a night bus which is, alas, not the one from Harry Potter. The ending is Matthew’s diary entry anxiously detailing him waiting for what terrible fate will befall him. This began with two Sherlock Holmes continuation novels, The House of Silk and Moriarty, followed by my entry into the world of James Bond with Trigger Mortis. The language is easy to read (the book was primarily meant for kids) and the book can be finished in one go if you can spare a couple of hours.The first horror story I remember reading was Dracula in its English version but truth be told I couldn’t make any sense out of it. The way these stories are written, I did feel that the author does seem to enjoy meting out these retributions on them. Well that settles it, there are 3 mediocre stories, 3 good stories and 3 excellent stories to look forward to. If that weren't enough, the penultimate story, 'Twist Cottage', features an old thatched cottage that has tiles falling off the roof!
