Dripping Blood Cave and Other Ghostly Stories — Raymond Bial
In this delightful collection of humorous short ghost stories by noted children's author Raymond Bial, young readers will enjoy the further adventures of young teen Hank Cantrell and his fleet-of-foot, 'fraidy-cat sidekick, Clifford Hopkins.
Together, the two ghost magnets encounter a host of spooks, haunts, spectres, and just plain ornery folks who won't die and go away until Hank works out a solution (assisted â€" if that's the word â€" by the big-talking, faint-hearted Cliffie).
Set in the rural Midwest, in and around the mythical town of Myrtleville, somewhere in Indiana, the book picks up where two previous volumes of Hank & Clifford stories left off (The Ghost of Honeymoon Creek and The Fresh Grave & Other Ghostly Stories).
Join the plucky fellows, and their sweethearts Rosie and Mary Ethel, as they scour the surroundings of small-town Myrtleville for another round of comical, not-too-scary adventures in this collection of short stories for kids . . . facing (and learning some valuable lessons from) the ghosts of the past.
Author Raymond Bial loves to tell funny ghost stories for kids. His humorous spooky tales, set in the Midwest and full of regional heritage and history, are fun to read, not too scary for young readers, and always deliver good lessons on friendship and doing the right thing, as the kids tumble from one ghostly adventure in a haunted house (or barn, or cemetery, or dark woods . . .) to the next. These are good teaching stories, but they are so much fun that kids certainly won't mind the occasional history lesson or moral encouragement to help someone in need (even if that person is a ghost).
Raymond Bial is the acclaimed author of more than 100 books for children and adults, including Amish Home, The Underground Railroad, Where Lincoln Walked, Ellis Island, and others. His other books of humorous ghost stories for kids include The Fresh Grave (short stories), The Ghost of Honeymoon Creek (a novel), and Shadow Island: A Spooky Tale of Lake Superior (novel). He lives in Urbana, Illinois.
