Review of Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror by Chris Priestley

By meghan rose on Saturday, December 17, 2016

Are you sure this doesn’t look too scary? I asked Tesfa.

No. Just read it.

And in the end, Tesfa was right. It wasn’t too scary. The stories are a bit creepy, probably a good creep-factor for my eight year old, and far less frightening than I remember Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark being. There’s nothing too gory, nothing to terrifying, nothing too NSFW. Tesfa liked guessing what was going to happen. I liked that the vocabulary was varied, full of multi-syllabic words and the assumption that kids reading/being read to were intelligent beings. So it was all right, Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror; enjoyed at our house.

Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror by Chris Priestley went on sale October 6, 2016.

I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
