The ending was totally unexpected--and I loved it! Happy WIP Wednesday, peeps! But Intense, gripping, and flowing are the words i would use to describe this frightening book. What can I say As the humans spread more widely over the planet, they discovered a peaceful race of natives simply referred to by humans as the Kirovnans. Tales of Terror 2. In this case the setting is an inn standing on a promontory precariously connected to the rest of Cornwall.

While Ethan hesitated Cathy granted the man admission to the inn. And they stuck a bargain. The man, Thackery, would be given refreshment and shelter from the storm, and in exchange he would tell the children stories of the sea. Filled with all of the traditional elements of sea stories yet fresh and new. Each one simple,clear and engaging — and holding a striking twist. The story of two sailors who visit a tattoo parlour in a foreign port with extraordinary consequences.

And, for me, the most haunting tale told of a child picked up from a small boat adrift. And as the stories unfold Ethan begins to wonder where his father is and why Thackery has come. Thackery tells no more than he wants to, and deflects attention by offering up more stories. Until the final tale, which explains everything, twisting, not just once, but twice. Everything is executed just perfectly — the words of Chris Priestley and the illustrations of David Roberts.

This volume is distinctive enough to stand up in its own right and just that little bit more sophisticated than its predecessor. Perfect reading for the season — and I look forward to the next volume!

I loved this book, loved everything about this book, the writing was superb and perfectly balanced and the illustrations are fantastically and darkly Gothic. Consisting of eleven stories told through the hears of Ethan and Cathy and the voice of Thackeray as they wait out a vicious storm in The Old Inn that clings to the cliff top above the storm battered seas.

This book is chillingly atmospheric as Thackeray weaves and winds his words into tales of terror, anticipation and dread on the high seas. Each tale builds on the last creating an eerie, blood-curdling atmosphere around you until the final dawn and the truest tale of all, told not by Thackeray but by two mysterious visitors to the Inn just as the sun rises above the clouds.

Utterly amazing, what more can I say. Spero di riuscire a rintracciare il volume precedente, ma per il momento sembra sparito dalla circolazione: Jul 09, Jamie Arthur rated it really liked it.

Tales from Kirovna

I am not normally a fan of creepy or scary stories but these are great- well written with a few twists. May 09, Kayleigh Offley rated it it was amazing Shelves: I checked it out straightaway read it immediately! When the siblings fall ill during a terrible storm their father is forced to leave them and find a doctor. They live in an inn by the sea, and it is not long before a storm drenched sailor comes knocking at the door seeking shelter from the storm.

Cathy and Ethan let him in and they find themselves being entertained by his scary and grisly tales — and it is these tales that form most of the book. Once again, Chris Priestley has crafted a gruesomely enjoyable and entertaining collection of scary tales.

I found myself forgetting that this was actually a book intended for a teenage audience — I think I would have been more than a little nervous if I had delved into this ten years ago. The tales in this book had more than enough horror, gore and eeriness to keep me engrossed in each tale. I was definitely invested in the original setting with Cathy and Ethan, and found the mystery of who the sailor was rather intriguing. Once again Chris Priestley presents us with a selection of ghostly tales covering a variety of sea-related monsters and frights linked together by an intriguing tale of two sick children waiting for their father to return with the doctor.

The ongoing theme of nautical terror was a strong link between stories — after all what is scarier than being trapped on a ship Once again Chris Priestley presents us with a selection of ghostly tales covering a variety of sea-related monsters and frights linked together by an intriguing tale of two sick children waiting for their father to return with the doctor.

The ongoing theme of nautical terror was a strong link between stories — after all what is scarier than being trapped on a ship with a bunch of strangers, surrounded by unfriendly seas for miles? As is usually the case with short stories, some are more memorable than others — the one about the sea snails definitely sticks with me!

It was this linking theme that kept me turning the pages, wanting to know what happens next. The writing feels like a classic ghost story — ancient and yet modern at the same time. The words just flew by and I pretty much sailed through the book yes, that pun was intended! Plus how creepy is that cover? A great read for Halloween or any time a storm in brewing Recommended for fans of Peter Beagle and R.

Oct 15, Dannielle Potts rated it liked it Shelves: One of the little twists in this books is that the cover is made up of aspects of the various tales - i will not give anything away but as you read them you start to recognise them. Sadly this has been lost of the newer editions of this book. I really enjoyed it and it has encouraged me to go and read more of his work - lets see what else he has to offer us, Nov 14, George Darby rated it really liked it.

Intense, gripping, and flowing are the words i would use to describe this frightening book. At no point was i tired of reading it and had no trouble following the basic plot line which, in its case, worked. Each tale in each chapter began a new burst of imagination and wonder that hooked me to every character in every plot line. This is certainly a quick easy read but also goes into detail about the main characters, especially Thackeray, which gave me more characters feelings to think about.

But Intense, gripping, and flowing are the words i would use to describe this frightening book. But it didn't go in to too much detail about him which is a good thing because there has to be some sort of mystery in his character.

This portrayal of Thackeray was intriguing and gripping. Der Stil passt zum Buch, wirkt ein wenig altbacken und hat mich daher ab und zu gelangweilt. Insgesamt Tendenz zu 4 Sternen, also 3. Dec 12, Catherine rated it liked it. The horror stories were pretty good and scary by themselves, though as an adult reader, I wanted them to be longer with greater use of descriptions and details. The narrator, a young boy by the name of Ethan, was aggravating.

Eventually, bustling trade commenced between the Continent folk and the Islanders. As the humans spread more widely over the planet, they discovered a peaceful race of natives simply referred to by humans as the Kirovnans. These aliens have ash-colored skin, dark black or purple hair, and violet eyes in a variety of shades. The most striking feature of the Kirovnans are their twin tentacle-like antennae that protrude from their foreheads and rest over the crowns of their heads down their backs. These antennae are used for sensory purposes. Another oddity the Ancient Earth humans discovered in the early days of habitation was the existence of magical creatures called pixies.

These animals delighted the humans—especially children—and over the years, pixies began to attach themselves to certain people, but not others. Once those first magical children became old men and women, they founded an academy for the study of magic high in the mountains of the Continent.
