Haunted Canada Graphic Novel, Volume #1: Four Terrifying Tales
For over 20 years, kids across Canada have delighted in the spooky stories of the Haunted Canada series!
And now, for the first time, four of these tales from award-winning author Joel A. Sutherland have been adapted into chilling graphic novellas and brought together in one terrifying volume. Illustrators David Bishop, Hannah Barrett, Jenn Woodall and Matt Salisbury each bring a different story to ghastly life.
In this first collection, horror lovers will read about:
- A corpse that haunts a crossroads . . .
- A creepy doll with a mind of its own . . .
- An island that is no vacation destination . . .
- A neighbour with a scary reputation . . .
Perfect for those who love graphic novels and existing fans of the original series, these four stories have it all: creepy Canadian settings, hair-raising history and super-scary storytelling. Illustrated in full colour, these blood-curdling tales are sure to keep any reader turning the pages — and awake at night.
