I love reading spooky stories but not before I go to bed. My imagination is a little too overactive.

SHORT AND SCARY is a a small book but it’s packed with 216 short stories, poems and illustrations by some of your favourite authors and illustrators. Carole Wilkinson, Shaun Tan, James Roy, Andy Griffiths, Terry Denton, James Molony, Sally Rippin, Susanne Gervay, Meredith Costain and many more. My contribution is a poem called ‘The Strange Bird’.

My favourite titles in this book are: ‘The Dreams of Aunty Morbid’, ‘Corn Dolly Dead’, ‘Aunt Eda’s Piano’, ‘The Bad Road’, ‘Tap, Tap, Tapping at the Window’ and ‘The Moth-er’.

All the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to youth mentoring programs.
