From the incredibly moving ''Christmas Meeting'' by Rosemary Timperley through to the mysterious and gothic ''The Ghost of a Hand'' by Le Fanu, Dahl collected a series of stories that are rather pleasantly scary - nothing to make you afraid to sleep, but wonderfully well written tales that'll give you the occasional fright. It's rather a shame I read this during the height of summer - it's one I'll be tucking away for reading in front of the fire with a big glass of wine.
Many thanks to the publishers for the copy - for further reading I'd recommend [[Tales of Death and Dementia by Edgar Allan Poe and Gris Grimly]] - another beautiful collection that entertains as much as it unsettles. After ''Fear'', you might be ready for [[War by Roald Dahl|War]].
