Irish students from across two countries unite to bring a volume of creepy, Gothic tales. Taking the genre of anthology to the extreme, most stories are written collectively by one class at one school. By this method, hundreds of not thousands of young authors have contributed to these scares. Read of a cursed church, a murderous manor, a Sunday surgery, or an alien adventure.
