Against the Night: A collection of ghost stories for English Language Learners (A Hippo Graded Reader)

What happens when we die? Are there really spirits walking among us? Haunting us and helping us? The six short stories in Against the Night will make you think and make you wonder. From the terror of The Mechanical Turk and the evil Mr. Clean, to the mystery of Messages and The Floating Girl, and the horror of Gone and Sixteen Years, once you start reading this book, you won't be able to stop until the last page. And after that, you'll check the cupboards and under your bed... to make sure you really are alone in the night. Against the Night is published by Hippo Books, a publisher dedicated to producing interesting, readable and fun books.
