Ghosts and ghouls, crypts and cryptids await you in The Book of Frights for Spooky Nights, the illustrated notes of a long-gone Ghost Hunter whose guidance from beyond the grave will send you to the world's scariest places.

Run from the headsman's axe in the Tower of London, seek out the seasick spirits aboard the Queen Mary in California, and escape the pharaoh's wrath in the Valley of the Kings, with this frighteningly factual compendium of spooky sites from around the globe. For each haunted locale, you'll first read the research of the ghost hunter, learning all about the real history and beliefs behind the creepy goings-on. Then, you're put in the middle of the action as you visit each place in an attempt to finally complete the Book of Frights, and end its curse for good... From treading the storied cemeteries of Edinburgh to dodging the Headless Horseman in Connecticut, these are adventures you won't want to go on alone!

As well as the featured locations, scattered throughout the book are many more secrets and facts to uncover in the bitesize tales of the Ghost Hunter's travels to farflung places, grouping together spooky castles, eerie countryside, forests of fear, and even whole islands said to be haunted.

With hauntingly beautiful illustrations and a thrilling fact-or-fiction, book-within-a-book narrative, The Book of Frights for Spooky Nights is best read by the flickering light of a campfire, or a torch way past bedtime...

About the Author

Leisa Stewart-Sharpe is an author of children's non-fiction and picture books. Born in Bundaberg, Australia, Leisa grew up fascinated by wild places and even wilder animals. As an adult, Leisa brings that fascination to a wide array of children's books, taking in everything from chocolate to buried treasure and sharks to environmental activism. Her works include the companion books to the BBC's Blue Planet II, The Green Planet and Frozen Planet II, as well as Happy Stories for Animal Lovers (Ivy Kids, 2023) and The Comeback Creatures (Wide Eyed Editions, 2024). Leisa lives in England with her family. Eva Sánchez Gómez was born in Puigcerdà, Spain. She graduated with her Fine Arts degree from University of Barcelona and focused on illustration in "Escola Francesca Bonnemaison" of "La Diputació de Barcelona". Her tender, grumpy, melancholic, funny, or ironic characters accompanied her all along this learning process. Since then, she has illustrated more than thirty novels and picture books for publishers from different countries. Three of her published books as illustrator have been part of the prestigious White Ravens list in 2020 and 2021.
