The Monster Ball John Townsend Illustrated edition

The Monster Ball is a creepy and comical collection of stories about a mysterious manor and its ghastly inhabitants, ideal for reading in the run-up to Halloween or any time of the year, under the covers with a torch or around a campfire!

For mysterious reasons, you have been invited to The Monster Ball at the end of the month - at the creepiest, creakiest, crumbliest castle: Graveside Manor. Curious to find out more before the big night, you set off through the forest to look for this mysterious mansion. In your search for answers, you discover all sorts of spooky clues as you explore the manor from the dusty dungeon laboratory up to the twisted turret. You will meet the cast of creepy characters, including Count Bloodcurdle and Countess Fangelina, great-aunt Hagatha, Dr Frankie Stein and his horrible creation, Bones.

The front of the book is designed to look like Graveside Manor. When you lift the flaps on the cover, then underneath you will find the page number where the next story in the sequence begins.
