More about the book
Dare you brave THE BLOOD TEXTS? Uncle Zeedie is the second in this spine-tingling YA short horror fiction anthology series. Thrillingly spooky, full of creeping suspense and chilling twists, this is the perfect accessible short fiction for those who may have fallen out of love with reading for pleasure.

Just a friend of the family . . . isn’t he?

Uncle Zeedie is weird, but at least he’s rich and his house is amazing. That’s what George and Lacey tell themselves when they arrive at his isolated mansion in the Welsh woods. Only, something here is worse than weird. Uncle Zeedie seems unhinged, serving them rotten food, and skulking around at night. The house is decaying, blood stained, and stinks of sour milk. And George is seeing kids that aren’t there. They’re dead, these kids. And if the rumours are right, Uncle Zeedie is the one who’s killing them.
