More Tales for the Midnight Hour Reviews
-
This was a thoroughly enjoyable collection of short stories and a perfect way to kick off the spooky season!
There is a great variety of types of stories: some told from kid characters and some from adults; some in the present day (well, the 1980's at least) and some in the past; some involving ghosts, witches and vampires, and some involving something more unique. The stories are aimed at children but I really enjoyed reading them as an adult and I felt they weren't too 'childish' at all.
My favourite was Right Inn which I won't say anything about but just know that I loved it! I will definitely keep an eye out for more of these 'Midnight Hour' collections by J.B. Stamper. -
Outside in the dark, the wind howls. Jagged streaks of lightning shoot across the sky. Falling leaves and heavy raindrops splatter against the windowpanes. Slowly the old grandfather clock chimes twelve. Time to read a book such as "More Tales for the Midnight Hour" which is sure to send a chill down your spine despite the stories being a tad dated.

Great book, this is how I want write.

Despite the fact these are for kids and young adults this was an enjoyable collection of stories. The author does a great job at creating atmosphere even if the stories are predictable. Its a low key read and thoroughly entertaining.

Read this to reminisce about my 11-year-old self and memories

This was a re-read, and what a fun re-read it was! Absolutely loved these books as a kid, and they're still just as fun as I remember them being. They hold up to the test of time very well.

I remember reading this book as a kid, curled up in old quilts in the musty guest bedroom at my mawmaw's house. The stories in this book, though very short and simple (they are children's stories after all) have stuck with me for years, even after I had forgotten the name of the book. With a little help from a friend, I found it again, and all the joy I felt from the first read came crawling back.
Most of the stories are pretty spooky for a kid's book, even if many of them still end in a very mundane and anticlimactic way. There's ghosts, ghouls, witches,and just some...unexplainable events. There's a little bit of something for everyone in for a chill down their spine, so I'd definitely recommend it for a quick and fun read for the Halloween season! -
Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years.
-
Stories are pretty good. Definitely more subtle than the first volume.
-
Some stories were good and others were extremely predictable.
-
