Ghosts is pretty straightforward, but Places is an odd combination of real locations that contain frightening beasts (e.g. venomous golden lancehead vipers on Brazil's Snake Island) and haunted places such as England's Chillingham Castle.

Review covers these First Facts: Super Scary Stuff titles: Super Scary Ghosts and Super Scary Places.
