Murderous spirits, chopped fingers, a teacher with a terrifying secret, a deadly shadowy mist in a room, a mysterious wall, a chain email's evil powers, and a little boy talking to his dead grandmother are a few of the creepy, bone-chilling stories in this collection.The authors, who are all a part of the Book Lovers’ Program for Schools—a travelling storytelling company— have written the stories based on their observations of children's fondness for spooky stories. Storytellers from the BLPS team have visited schools across south India. The stories reflect the flavours of India in their language and setting.If you don't believe in ghosts, think again. Read this collection late at night, tucked under your blanket with only a torch to light the pages. Be warned. These stories are not for the faint-hearted.
