This was an old favorite and I was glad to find a copy of this recently in a local second-hand shop along with some 'Fear Street' novels. I hadn't noticed before, but I was surprised to see this book advertised for a teen market instead of for middle grade The book's narrator Maggi takes care of h...
I’ve always believed that old things are haunted but I never realized that the quiet little world of antique buying and selling was so cut-throat! I listened to this collection of eerie stories on unabridged audio. They’re all stories about antique dealer Geoff Ashton, except for one or two that a...
