Here's a real Christmas treat. Leo Hartas has brought back his classic cutaway adventure book Haunted Castle. Originally published almost thirty years ago, it's packed with spooky visual gags and meticulously rendered mouth-watering illustrations by one of Britain's foremost fantasy artists.
Haunted Castle has long been out of print because, while the art and the concept were Leo's from the start, he didn't own the copyright in the text, which was written by Nicholas Turpin. The brilliant but far from easy solution: write all-new text. The 2025 edition has a fresh interactive storyline by author Amanda Boulter and will appeal to fans of gamebooks and puzzles and, as they say, to kids of all ages.
