The Fearsome Foursome

(4) 4-6 Tales from the Haunted Mansion series. Illustrated by Kelley Jones. Four friends obsessed with scary stories answer a summons to an abandoned mansion, where ghostly librarian Amicus Arcane tells the children horrible tales about themselves. Based on Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, these stories-within-the-story are not very scary; the main draw is each friend's grisly demise. Black-and-white sketches reinforce the pseudo-somber tone, while a rather loose plot ties everything together and sets up future installments.
