Tales from the Haunted Mansion are fun, scary-ish
With a tour de force opener that any Haunted Mansion fan will love, Tales from the Haunted Mansion presents a mix of Tales from the Crypt, Goosebumps but better, Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events and the kind of jokes that only some in the know would get. If you haven’t been to one of the Disney parks with a version of the Haunted Mansion, you should still be able to enjoy these 4 tales of kids and their journey to the mansion.
Spoiler Alert: I don’t want to alarm you but this book starts with a warning – put it down foolish reader. Of course, you aren’t the type to put the book down are you. And so the narrator of the story addresses the reader throughout the book, providing warnings, puns and jokes about death. If you want a quick read to take you through memory lane and to add a couple of stories to your Haunted Mansion experience, this is the perfect opener for a series of books. Where they go from here is anyone’s guest, but for now the Fearsome Foursome are lighthearted entertainment with gruesome fun on the side. |
