Gr 5–8—This series boasts crowd-pleasing graphic novels about real ghostly legends. The titles in “Ghostly Graphics” tell chilling ghost stories, taken from real tales of ghost sightings from the 1800s to today. Notable is the story of the haunted doll Annabelle, though fans of the films about her will notice some distinct differences. End matter of each graphic novel discusses the history of the legend around each ghost and attempts to disprove them, especially the sightings by the Warrens, a famous and controversial paranormal investigator couple. Historical, paranormal, and crime vocabulary are covered in glossaries. VERDICT An easy sell for emerging readers and horror fans alike.
