Overview

""I reckon he really is a vampire,"" said Trev when they were discussing the incident behind the bike sheds. ""If he is, it's not fair,"" complained Ben, ""I know there's a shortage of teachers, but they can't go digging up vampires and sending them to teach kids!"" Is the teacher really a vampire, or is it a misunderstanding? The vampire teacher is not the only horror in the book. There's Van Gogh's ghost, a ghost bridegroom and Scrooge's fourth ghost, Rose Hall, Borely Rectory and a haunted well. There is also a series of stories about a different kind of monster-bullies. Variety is provided by some science fiction stories and some reworkings of traditional fairy tales, though even they have a touch of the macabre.

Author Information

Christopher Brewster, or Kit, as he is known to his friends, has been writing stories since he was a young child. He rediscovered his passion for creative writing when, in 1984, he became an English teacher in a Rotherham school, where he enjoyed making up stories for his pupils. When one of them said, ""We think your stories are even better than those in books. Why not write a book yourself, Sir?"" He decided to send some of his stories to several publishers. One of them asked him to add some questions to a story so it could be used for educational purposes, and this led him to write a wide range of successful educational text books. He has since written for many other educational publishers including Cassell, Folens, Longman, and Scholastic, but recently has returned to his first love, which is creative writing, especially fiction and poetry. Kit Brewster is not the author's real name, but the nom de-plume he uses for his children's writing. He uses other pseudonyms for his adult fiction and historical writing. However, in keeping with his love of codes and puzzles, he has encoded his real name somewhere in this book.
