BODY
PARTS
Just imagine
someone wants your heart, lungs, stomach, brain.
But the Use By date hasn't expired and you're
still using them. The mad doctor doesn't care. He
straps you to a table and starts taking out your
bits and pieces even though you're yelling STOP!
CURSE
OF THE MUMMY
The kids' mum is
dead, and Dad goes off to Egypt on a business
trip. But he brings the kids back a new mummy.
She smells a bit funny, cats yowl when she's near
them, and suddenly band aids and bandages start
disappearing. Is this really a mummy or a mummy?
MURDER
ON THE GHOUL BUS
You go to jump on
the school bus and, whoops, there's a ghoul
driving it, with maggots squirming out of his
eyeballs and his brains hanging out. I mean, the
big problem is, has he got a current driving
licence? Destination - Ghoul-School at the
Graveyard.

| HAIR
RAISER HORROR Who likes to be scared? Then read
the Hair Raisers by Lee Striker who is really ME,
Margaret Clark. Random House
publishes them. Why did I call myself Lee
Striker? Because I thought if I got a name that
started with St, the bookstores would put my
horror books next to R.L. Stine's Goosebumps and
you kids would buy them. So I thought of Margaret
Stain, Margaret Stink, Margaret Strike ...then I
decided on Lee Striker.
These are the
twelve titles:
EVIL
At CAMP STAR
Just imagine you
go to a school camp and there are man-eating
sized RATS (which is star spelt backwards).
THE
HOUSE OF THE LIVING DEAD
No, it's not your
teacher's house, it's a spooky house with weirdos
living there who want to suck out your blood,
nerves, muscles, the whole works. But what for?
THE
REVENGE OF THE VAMPIRE LIBRARIAN
This could be YOUR
school librarian sucking out the blood of
teachers and kids who don't bring their library
books back!
TEACHER
TORTURE
Are you torturing
the teachers or are they torturing you? My
teachers in the old days were savage. They hit me
with rulers and leather straps and made me stand
in a corner. But THIS teacher is worse than the
worst olden-days teacher and he's wired for
weird.
SHOCK!
HORROR! READ THIS!
If you write to me
at PO Box 454 Geelong 3220 Vic Australia, I can send you a free coffin
bookmark and a litre of my blood (only joking
about the blood, but I'll send the bookmark if
you can bear to look).

So, keep on reading ... there's more.
DEAD
KIDS TELL NO TALES
This is based on a
spooky old school with a deep pool in the river
nearby. There was supposed to be the ghost of a
teacher who drowned in the pool. And now she's
come back to get revenge!
BAT
ATTACK
Just imagine you
find out your family has inherited an old mansion
and you go to live there. You hear noises in the
roof. But they're not little bats, they are
ghastly!
BITE
YOUR HEAD OFF
Do you think you
can get through life without your head? Well, the
Black Widow spider who lives in a cave thinks you
can. Her helpers are spinning grey matter ,
cobwebby stuff, to replace the human brain. YOUR
brain is next!
HUMANS
FOR BREAKFAST
I got this idea at
the Adelaide airport. Just imagine the plane gets
hijacked by aliens and you have to work in an
underground cave to strip it for the metal, while
lizard creatures screech at you ( and then eat
you)
DEADLY
FRIENDS
This isn't really
a Hair Raiser There are three
books in one. The first, 'Deadly Friends' is by
Claire Carmichael. The second is 'Rent a Crowd'
by Christine Harris. The third is 'Out of
Control, by Margaret Clark. Christine and Claire are my best friends in real life.
