Title: Random Bookshop chat ...

Mother : Excuse me ... can you recommended me a Horror book for an 8 year old?

I have no kids ... but is that a good question?

At what age does Horror start?

Thoughts?

Seven Dwarves. That Witch in the Disney film, scared me senseless, I reckon I was about 7. And Witches are a recurring theme, what about the one in the Wizard of Oz!

The Childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 

Gave me nightmares as a kid.

13 unpredictable Tales by Paul Jennings, not so much horror but weirdly strange and funny. Great read for kids.
Also the Horrible histories series are both scary/gory and educational.
Some Roald Dahl, varying levels of darkness.

... weirdly strange and funny sounds good ... serious books get so tedious ...
