They have also got a fantastic competition – The Monster Story Competition. To celebrate the release of The Horror Handbook, they are offering five children the chance to have their monster story printed in a special collection and then to have it signed by Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of The Horror Handbook.
What happens to a vampire when he dies? How does somebody become a werewolf? How can you protect yourself from witches? All of these questions and more are answered in this book, which will finally give you all the information you ever wanted to know about ghosts, zombies, monsters and all kinds of creepy-crawly creatures that give us the heebie-jeebies.
Full of tips, anecdotes and trivia – and delightfully illustrated by Axel Scheffler – Paul van Loon’s Horror Handbook is a fun and fascinating reference book for all fans of scary stories and things that go bump in the night.
Want to win? All you have to do is write a 500-800 word monster story and then get an adult to send it to with your name and age, Good Luck. (Competition closes on the 1st December 2016. Open to children aged 7–11.)

They have also got a copy of The Double Axe signed by the author Philip Womack, to give away!
Dark forces are at work in the House of the Double Axe. Stephan, the thirteen-year-old son of King Minos of Crete, stumbles across a terrifying conspiracy. Is the Minotaur, a half man half bull who eats human flesh, real? Or is something even more dangerous threatening to engulf both the palace and the world?
Stephan must race to save his family from a terrible fate and find out what really lurks inside the labyrinth…
You think you know the story? Think again.
