The Little Big Book of Chills & Thrills (Little Big Books (Welcome))
From classic ghost stories by Mary Shelley, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the  Brothers Grimm, to real, unexplained curses, this chunky square book will  thrill, chill, and charm every reader. Inspired by their passion for Harry  Potter and all things fantastical, editors Lena Tabori and Natasha Tabori Fried  have selected an outstanding collection of deliciously bone-chilling stories,  poems, spells, magic tricks, curses, superstitions, legends, and lore. There are  even recipes for such delicacies as Graveyard Brownies, Spider Cake, and Eyeball  Potion. Learn about the spooky curse of James Dean's sports car--and think twice  before going to visit the monument at the intersection where the film star met  his death. Discover the true meaning behind All Hallows' Eve. And quote Edgar  Allan Poe's raven as he laments, "Nevermore."With 200 line drawings and more than 100 eclectic, full-color illustrations from  the early 20th century, this handsome volume in the Little Big Book series is a  fascinating celebration of magic, fantasy, and the sinister yet appealing world  of ghosts and other unknowns.
