Book Review - Night Shivers

About the BookWhat happens when heartbreak on a wedding day turns to unspeakable terror, a camping trip is interrupted by a hideous midnight visitor, or when a fun outing to an old, abandoned house becomes serious when revenge reaches from beyond the grave? Author Ed Pessalano answers these questions and more in Night Shivers (73pp., tpb, $7.38), a collection of thirteen stories of suspense and terror. Night Shivers covers a range of territory from a ghost story called “Expected Company” to “The Night Train,” where a late-night train passenger is being stalked by a serial killer. A day at the amusement park turns into a twisted nightmare for a couple in “Terror Park.” In “The Mourning,” you’ll meet a hideous old couple. It seems like just about everyone they meet dies a mysterious death. Ed Pessalano is a freelance writer, currently residing in the State of New York. He studied writing at The Institute of Children’s Literature. He is also a passionate animal rights activist and environmentalist. Pessalano operates a website at www.nightshivers.net

My Take on the Book
Do you like stories that will make your cringe at times? Do you like to have stories that will give you a bit of the willies? This short collection of tales will definitely do this. I and my kids have always been interested in ghost stories. My eldest daughter always loves to hear the stories and amazingly she does not get scared by them. This book is one that I shared with her and she enjoyed them, though there were a few of the stories that we stopped as I did not want her to have nightmares. The only thing I would have changed in the entire book were the story headings, as they were very tiny and could have been better marked so that you could tell that the new story was starting. You could identify it, but they could have made it more prominent in the editing of the book. Otherwise a great book!
