Scare-master Robert San Souci serves up ten chilling tales about untraditional haunted houses: a mansion full of pirate treasure, a ghost trapped in a mysterious dollhouse, a boy whose vacation house comes complete with people-eating spiders, and many more. But beware because not all of the protagonists in these stories get out alive.

Robert San Souci is the award-winning author of many picture books based on folk tales from around the world, including The Talking Eggs, Kate Shelley, Haunted Houses, and the bestselling Short & Shivery series. A native Californian, he lived in San Francisco.
