The Young Oxford Book of Nasty Endings

This is a collection of stories which all have a big surprise at the end.

You’ll meet sinister landladies, weird sweetshops, evil statuettes, deadly coffins, poisonous hats, awful slitherings, murderous monks, and real lions in the nursery.

But watch out for the ending — it could be nasty.
