Children's literature for Spooky Kids

The world of horror focused on children has always seemed interesting to me. There is something in the language, in the illustrations, that manage to strongly attract my attention. Horror in children is striking and at the same time an escape from reality. I think many can agree with me that sometimes just by seeing the covers of some books or movies in the video store, all our thoughts went to that image and to knowing its content, and that ended up being quite an adventure. That is why I appreciate horror books for children so much and I hope at some point in my life to be able to write and illustrate one.
