Long Synopsis:
The green-bronze door of the tomb loomed cold and forbidding in the
moonlight. Wind sighed mournfully through the rhododendron bushes and clouds
blew across the night sky like the shrouds torn from long ago corpses.
Seating himself on the vault steps he pulled out the crumpled paper bag,
mentally counting to six hundred as he applied the makeup. Dampening his
face slightly, Jamie dabbed white flour heavily across his features, even
right up to his hairline. Rolling yellow clay into two small stubby cones he
affixed them to the side of his neck. Carefully he ringed the cones with
purple felt- tip pen and dripped some of his mother's red food coloring
beneath the two imitation vampire fang bites. Golly! Would they run when he
came staggering and moaning at them. The bronze door at his back began
creaking and groaning as it started to open. Hairs on the back of Jamie's
neck stood up rigid. The blood in his veins turned to ice water; his heart
pounded madly like a trip hammer, trying to fight its way up into his mouth.
A pale bluish light radiated from the tomb, illuminating his quaking form.
The hand that grasped Jamie's shoulder was neither big nor hairy, but it was
as cold as iron in a blizzard, white and slim with a strength not of this
earth. get ready for the ghostly side of Brian Jacques! Filled with humor,
adventure, and imagination, these seven short stories go from the
lighthearted to the bizarre. Read about the cocky teenage liar whose
sneakiness saves his soul from the devil, the graffiti artist who tries to
escape being mummified, and the boy who's midnight visit to the tomb of a
vampire includes a run-in with a vampire mother who nags just like his own.
The eerie characters and settings created by this masterful storyteller will
tickle funny bones and send chills up spines. "Well crafted and smoothly
written .. . While suitable for reading aloud, the tales are even better
under the covers with a flashlight." -Booklist (starred review)
Comments:
This is a replacement for the "good" copy in the collection. Page numbers
need to add to the pages that are missing them. page numbers are located at
the bottom of the page. If you have any questions please contact me. I have
read through this book. One story contains a lot of "german" accented words,
such as dat for that, and the like, these aren't spelling errors.
