I was browsing my local public library the other day looking for tween titles that i hadn't seen before, and Passion and Poison caught my eye with its' fetching cover and creepy title. Kids are always asking us for "scary" stories and it is sometimes difficult to find something scary that is still age appropriate at the same time. This collection of original takes on traditional folklore motifs is just the thing.
Author Janice M. Del Negro wrote these tales to be read aloud, but even someone reading to him/herself is bound to get the chills somewhere in this collection. There are 8 tales in all ranging from the more traditional ghost story "Skulls and Bones, Ghosts, and Gold", to the truly gory "The Severed Hand", with my favorite being the latter.
All of the stories are hauntingly illustrated by Vince Natale to great effect. Readers who have been fans of Gidwitz's recent
Tale Dark and Grimm are certain to enjoy these dark and creepy tales.
Readers beware...not for the faint of heart!
