<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Los muertos nos austan, porque un dâia tambiâen moriremos. La oscuridad nos asusta, porque no sabemos lo que aguarda ahâi fuera. Por la noche, el rumor de las hojas, o el crujido de las ramas, o el susurro de alguien, nos hace sentir incâomodos. Lo mismo ocurre cuando oâimos pasos, o cuando creemos ver figuras extraänas en las sombras: tal vez un ser humano o un animal grande, o algo horrible que apenas podemos distinguir. Hoy dâia, la mayorâia de la gente dice no creer en fantasmas y fenâomenos extraänos. Sin embargo, aâun tenemos a los muertos y la oscuridad; aâun vmeos al hombre del saco aguardado entre las sombras; y aâun contamos historias de miedo, como hemos hecho desde siempre."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Get Ready to be Spooked!
