Publisher Description
Welcome, foolish mortals, to Disney Press' spookiest chapter book series yet: Tales from the Haunted Mansion! Based on the attractions from the Disney Parks, each new book tells the story of one of the Haunted Mansion's 999 ghosts. With eerie illustrations throughout and a beautiful three-piece cloth cover, the books are designed to look like they came straight from the library in the Haunted Mansion. Tales from the Haunted Mansion is a fun, spooky ride, just like the attraction from the Disney Parks. And if readers are familiar with the ride, they'll see elements of it throughout the entire story, from items straight of the Mansion (are those pictures stretching?) to lyrics from the narration that is heard in each Doom Buggy. In this bone-chilling book, you will hear the terrifying tales of the Fearsome Foursome--four kids who look to out-scare each other. But just wait until they hear my spooky stories. Who am I? I am Amicus Arcane, your librarian and host. Your Ghost Host. So read on... if you dare!
Customer Reviews
Super Fun / Wouldn’t Recommend for Kids
Really spooky stories that I would suggest are too gruesome for actual children. But for an adult who likes spooky stuff that isn’t too spooky? Ah, this is perfect.
Age appropriate spook, less than thrilling writing
I read this because one of my students asked me to to see if it was scary. Short answer: it isn’t. The writing and the stories are a bit weak, and the characters didn’t feel fleshed out. It feels more like disney sticking an exhausted writer in a room and squeezing this out of them in an attempt to capitalize on the ever growing popularity of the classic ride. It is however a perfectly reasonable way to introduce a child to this genre of books, and it is the classic kooky-spooky for which the haunted mansion is much beloved.
Nice
I thought it wouldn’t have creepyness to it being disney but I was Impressed with the bone chilling stories It is the perfect amount of scare.
