"Ollie Ollie Oxen Free" Loved this book so much I read it twice. The stories are fascinating....where does he get those ideas. Read a story...close your eyes (if you dare) and you can see it happening. If you love Twilight Zone -- you will absolutely love each story in this book.
"Francine Biere-Coffee Cramps Review " Ollie-Ollie Oxen Free: A Collection of Terror from Henry P. Gravelle Boston, Ma (ContentDesk) October 18, 2005 -- Henry P. Gravelle, member of the Horror Writers Association, sets the mood, dims the lights and opens the curtain on a stage darker than any moonless night within his collection of stories including Confronting Closet Creatures, an essay on the dynamics of monsters lingering in the shadows, in the closet or under the bed with expert advice on dealing with the nighttime critters and boogiemen. The phrase Ollie-Ollie Oxen Free comes from the calling of game players to begin anew and in this collection Henry has regrouped ten old friends of fright for a new game called scare the reader. If your taste runs from the strange and bizarre to Gothic horror, you will enjoy this cornucopia of terror. With a measure of gruesomeness and spectral imagining Henry's storytelling voice and sense of place perfectly matches the spells he... More > weaves. Ollie-Ollie Oxen Free has something for everyone. Henry challenges readers to examine whats real and whats not and with this authors talent for the macabre its hard to tell the difference! Stories designed to make you sleep with the lights on!Susie Hawes Editor, Crossroads magic.< Less
"Ollie Ollie Oxen Free" I started this book and was captured by the first story. I had intended to "make it last" by reading one story a night.....I finished it in two. Henry has some imagination. I don't even know if I can pick out a favorite story, but I do wish I had known the secret on how to deal with monsters and other "closest creatures" earlier in life. It sure would have saved me a lot of sleepless/scared nights. Parents, read the book, especially that story and tell your kids what to do.
