A spine chilling collection of short stories each of which will
horrify but also delight readers with its creepy characters and
unexpected occurrences. Robert starts back to school on the train alone
but, when the train stops right in the mouth of a tunnel, a companion
joins him. The strange woman in white has stories to tell Robert and
they are not for the faint hearted. The black-and-white illustrations
match perfectly and bring to life the gothic creepiness at the heart of
each.
A boy is put on a train by his stepmother to make his first journey on his own. But soon that journey turns out to be more of a challenge than anyone could have imagined as the train stalls at the mouth of a tunnel and a mysterious woman in white helps the boy while away the hours by telling him stories - stories with a difference.
