Set in and around the streets of Dundee, The Little Scary Book 2 is a collection of 10 short stories following the children of the city. Each story follows a unique character, their family dynamic, and the strange things that haunt them and the city.

I honestly wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into when I begun this collection, as I haven’t read the first The Little Scary Book, however, much to my joy, I found it to be an excellent collection of Scottish spooky tales! Like every short story collection, there are some stories I enjoyed more than others, but overall I feel the horrors/monsters the children faced in each of these tales were interesting and the situations dynamic. Being Scottish myself, I always love to read a story set in this amazing country I get to call home. I also want to highlight the unapologetic use of Gaelic at certain points in this collection as I feel it is so important to utilise language in writing!

My favourites were ‘Clown Wullie’, ‘The Boy in the Black Bedroom’, ‘Only Those and Such as Those’ and ‘Every Now and Again…’!

An anthology of Scottish scary stories. It's always entertaining and educational to learn about what is considered "scary" in different countries and cultures around the world. These ten stories have the built-in scare factor, but I'm not sure how they'd work being told around the campfire in American camping circles. I read this book with four of my reading circle, and we all agreed that we wouldn't like to read it with the lights off. 5 easy stars.
