About This Book
When your child is obsessed with ghost stories but you're worried about nightmares, this book offers the perfect balance. Dangerous Ghosts is a collection of seventeen short tales about hauntings, poltergeists, and famous specters from around the world. Author Daniel Cohen presents them in a straightforward, almost journalistic style, drawing from both folklore and historical accounts. This approach fuels a child's curiosity about the unknown while keeping the fear factor manageable. It’s an excellent choice for young mystery lovers who are more interested in the 'how' and 'why' of spooky phenomena than in jump scares.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central sensitive topic is death, which is the prerequisite for a ghost. The book's approach is secular and investigative, not religious or emotional. Death is treated as a past event that created the current mystery. The stories are presented as case files or legends, and the resolutions are almost always ambiguous, leaving the reader to wonder what really happened. The focus is on the paranormal phenomena, not the grief or tragedy of the death itself.
