Horowitz Horror: Stories You'll Wish You'd Never Read by Anthony Horowitz
Nine horror stories set in England focus on everyday items that have sinister qualities.
Blade of Fire by Stuart Hill
Many years have passed since Queen Thirrin and her allies defended the Icemark against a brutal invasion. But now General Bellorum is back, along with his bloodthirsty spawn, twin sons even more vicious than him. Thirrin and Oskan also have a family: two girls and three boys. But darkness lurks within the House of Lindenshield: Medea, the couple's cold-hearted, fifteen-year-old daughter, who's just coming into her magical powers, may be the downfall of the kingdom. It's up to her brother, Charlemagne, crippled by polio as a child, to return from exile and rescue the land he loves. Sequel to Cry of the Icemark.
