Unseen!

Unseen - you'd better watch out... The shell opens right up and there inside is something looking out. Right in the middle is a bulging eye. A human eye with a pupil. It stares at me. And I stare back. Stare if you dare... Can the dead come back to life? Could you escape a man-eating ghost? Who are you if you are not yourself? Can you cheat the fate that awaits you?

This title presents another collection of wacky and varied short stories, stories to be read and enjoyed at a sitting. They're about a boy who is able to grow new fingers, but not always in the right places; the dead dog that isn't quite what it seems; the last request of a grandfather; a man-eating ghost; a parrot that teaches unpleasant lessons and much more.
