Six years have passed since Chloe and Lewis went into the forest on Halloween night in search of the Ghost Train…

Now, having moved into their Great Grandpa’s old cottage, they will learn of the Ghost Tree and the secrets it hides within…

Danger awaits around every corner. Perhaps, sometimes, a horror you thought it safe to forget will come back to haunt you…

About the author

Born in South Wales, Lee Allen was an avid reader from a young age, already beginning to develop his fascination with mystery, intrigue, crime, horror and the supernatural. He soon turned to creating his own stories and hasn’t stopped writing since. He completed the manuscript for his first full-length novel while still in secondary school, which was later published as his debut crime thriller "Those Crimes of Passion" in 2012.

Heavily influenced by gothic fiction, he later released supernatural mystery "Alone" (2014); horror chiller "The Jack O’Lantern Men" (2015); short story collection "Whispers from the Dead of Night" (2020), a hybrid of horror and multiple sub-genres; and erotic horror crime thriller "Bitten" (2021).

His first children's book, "The Ghost Train", was published on Hallowe'en 2022, followed by the sequel, "The Ghost Tree", published on the Autumn Equinox 2023.

Lee continues to reside in Wales with his feline writing companion, immersing himself in imagination and research.

I enjoyed this short story. It was a children's horror story, and it reminded me of the horror stories that I enjoyed reading as a child, like the Goosebumps and Shivers books. If you're looking for a short story to read on Halloween, this would be a good choice.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. The witch is back to cause mischief and this time uses an ancient tree and a creepy man. The legend is quite sad. I'm curious about the magpie who helped Chloe and Lewis.
