Koyasan by Darren Shan

(112 pages)



Prepare to be spooked in this spine-tingling new story from the master of horror, Darren Shan! "The boys and girls in the graveyard were shouting, but Koyasan no longer heard them. The world had become a wide, grey void. She could hear deep rasping sounds, the breath of creatures which had been human once, but weren't any more..." All of the children like to play in the graveyard, except Koyasan, who is too afraid to cross the bridge to play. But when her sister's soul is stolen, she must find the courage to enter a realm of evil, where she knows the spirits are waiting...

I loved this a lot! It was easy to read and the characters were very realistic. I found it very scary in parts, but really enjoyed the happy ending. I would recommend this to kids of all ages (adults included!)
