Spooky Poems is a collection of scary poems about ghosts, ghouls, bats, witches, vampires and all things creepy - by bestselling children's poets Brian Moses and James Carter. A Good Scary Poem Needs... A haunted house, a pattering mouse. A spooky feeling, a spider-webbed ceiling. A squeaking door, a creaking floor. A swooping bat, the eyes of a cat. A dreadful dream, a distant scream. A ghost that goes 'BOO' and You! Brian Moses spends half his time writing and the rest of the time visiting schools across the UK and Europe to perform his poetry and percussion show. His poetry books include Brian Moses' School Report, Behind the Staffroom Door and A Cat Called Elvis. His solo collections and anthologies for Macmillan have sold over 1 million copies and he is featured on the National Poetry Archive. He is co-author of What Are We Fighting For?, a new collection of war poems written especially for a younger audience.
James Carter lives in Oxfordshire with his wife and two daughters. His poems have been published in dozens of anthologies, in his own collection, Journey to the Centre of My Brain, and in Grrr! Dinos, Dragons and Other Beastie Poems.
