I've just finished reading a book titled "Burnt" by Anthony Horowitz. There are two different Horror Stories. The first one is titled "Burnt" and it's about a boy Tim who goes on vacation with his aunt and uncle. When he moves to the hotel , the only thing his Uncle Nigel wants to do is get a tan. Tim thinks Sara is rubbing protective oil on Uncle Nigel's body, but it's actually "Quick Cook Vegetable Oil-Faster Frying!" That's why there are burnt marks on Uncle Nigel's skin. On August 31st Uncle Nigel is dead! Aunt Sara didn't even have a suprised look on her face, she just said,"Oh."

The second story is titled "The Monkey's Ear" it's about a boy named Bart who is on vaccation with his family in Marrakesh. Bart urges his parents to buy the Monkey's Ear because it looks strange an ugly. The shopkeeper tells him that the Monkey's Ear grants four wishes. Instead of a rolls-royce the wishmaker gives Bart rolls of Rice(Sushi), when his dad wishes to have hair again the wishmmaker makes a hurricane and when his mm wished for a ton of money the wishmaker gave a tin of honey!! Bart claims that the Monkey's Ear can't hear the wish properly.

My favorite story was "Burnt"
