Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror by Ollie Taylor - By: G. Ashworth, 17 Dec 2008 
I thought this book was very good, first the cover & artwork of the book was very good. The stories had a very eerie feel to them & worked effectively. The only bad thing about this book is that if the writer wanted to he could have made the book a lot scarier. The story is basically a collection of stories that are scary; as it goes on the stories get scarier & scarier.
A Good Read. - By: Sybok, 13 Sep 2008 I always loved the 'portmanau' horror films like 'Tales from the Crypt', 'Dead of Night' & 'Creepshow', which usually had a wraparound story. This book recaptures the style of those films & it would be nice to see an adaption. There is a sense of lurking dread thoughout the book & it is nicely atmospheric. Well worth a read.
Nice and creepy! - By: Elen Caldecott, 10 Aug 2008 This is a great book to dip into again & again. Each chapter can stand alone, which makes them perfect bedtime story material - if you don't get easily spooked that is!
Outstanding - By: Booklady, 09 Jan 2008 
Edge of the seat tension & highly atmospheric tales of the supernatural. A brilliant writer -my son really loved this book
Spellbinding tales - By: kehs, 08 Dec 2007 Uncle Montague lives alonein a large house that is situated behind some dark, dense woods. His nephew, Edgar, has to brave this scary walk to visit him, but makes the journey regularly, because he loves to listen to the stories his Uncle tells him. On the visit we hear about, the tales Edgar gets told grow more & more macabre with each one - & just who are the children he keeps getting glimpses of when his Uncle is supposed to live alone? Uncle Montague uses ancient artefacts that are dotted around his home to base his stories around. The final tale is the scariest of all, all the more so because it involves Edgar hearing some heart stopping truths about someone he least expected to be involved. The reader will pick up on Edgar's growing fear & will look forward with anticipation to each new tale.
All of the tales have a weirdly wonderful twist & will hold readers of all ages spellbound. A fantastic book that would make perfect Halloween or dark winter nights reading.
