Published 8th September by @usbornepublishing is this PHANTASTIC anthology of horror stories for kids, written by some of the masters of the field - in plenty of time to get a copy in for your Hallowe’en reading! Matt Haig, Susan Cooper, Philip Reeve, Mal Peet and more lend their creepy voices to this collection which I gobbled down in a few days. Deliciously horrific, tense, unsettling and without a single ‘happy ending’ in sight, it may be intended for children but it’s Right Up My Street.
The art was created in pencil on paper then inked in, with names added to the illustration in @procreateapp to allow for the myriad fine-tunes and changes as we fitted all the authors in. The lettering too is all-ink-action.
