Book description
Two spooky short stories by Anthony Horowitz, a master-storyteller and
the best-selling author of the Alex Rider series. All the previous
owners of Twist Cottage have died in mysterious circumstances. Just a
coincidence, thinks Ben, when he, his father and his unpleasant new
stepmother move in. But then he starts to discover the cottage's secret
. . . 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.
