|title=A Head full of Ghosts
|rating=4
|genre=Horror
|summary=I don't normally go in for horror stories, mainly because I usually can't take them seriously enough to suspend disbelief. But ''A Head full of Ghosts'' appealed to me, somehow - perhaps I was just curious to read the novel that ''scared the living hell out of'' Stephen King. Or maybe I was interested to see how Paul Tremblay dealt with the schizophrenic behaviour of his teenage protagonist. And I was certainly intrigued by the highly original storyline described in the blurb: when Marjorie, a teenage girl, starts behaving erratically, her family can't cope and call in the local priest and, ultimately, a TV crew who start to film a reality show about exorcisms.

|summary=Susan Hill is by far the master of the old fashioned ghost story. If you've ever read or seen [[The Woman in Black by Susan Hill|The Woman in Black]], then you’ll already know that, but her other ghost stories are a little less famous. That doesn’t make them any less good, and I for one am a big fan. I think there’s a lot to be said for a good old fashioned scare, with apparitions, goosebumps and cold chills up the spine. I always feel like I should be reading these books around a campfire, wrapped in a blanket and eating marshmallows because it very much reminds me of sharing ghost stories with my friends when I was a child. What I like to call a ‘proper scare’.
