Book description
Two dark and creepy tales by Anthony Horowitz, a master-storyteller and
the best-selling author of the Alex Rider series. David's mobile won't
stop ringing, but these are no ordinary callers. He seems to have a
hotline to heaven - or is it to hell? Isabel has a nasty feeling that
the Victorian bath her parents have installed is waiting for her - and
it isn't for a bubble bath, more a blood bath . . . Anthony Horowitz
was born in 1955 and sent to Orley Farm, a particularly vicious boy's
preparatory school in North London, which gave him his first taste of
horror. Afterwards he went to Rugby School and York University. He is
probably known as a screen writer and his work includes Foyle's War,
Murder in Mind, Midsomer Murders, Menace and Agatha Christie's Poirot.
"I've always liked horror," Anthony says. "I love those
dark things that are always just out of sight . . . in the corner of
your eye." But he is equally at ease with comedy, thrillers and
even spy fantasies . . . his Alex Rider series has enjoyed worldwide
success. All in all, he has written over twenty books for children. For
Orchard Books Anthony has written Horowitz Horror and More Horowitz
Horror, two collection of scary short stories that will make your spine
tingle! The stories are also available individually as Pocket Horowitz
paperbacks. Anthony lives in North London with his wife and two sons,
Nicholas and Cassian.
