Riley Cain

Riley Cain was born in Ireland, so was already pretty cool before becoming a writer. More importantly a keen reader, Riley has a special love collecting classic ghost stories, only equalled by a fondness for watching old scary movies on Halloween – in the dark! It was these interests, combined with a passion for wacky words and ridiculous rhymes that led to the creation of Riley’s first collection of fun and frights for kids, The Halloween House. Riley lives and works in Dublin and haunts the internet at www.rileycain.com

She steps into the Second Realm and discovers something sinister is leaking in from the Third Realm, that if unleashed, will compromise the order of all three.

The Halloween House

Riley Cain enlists some literary magic to provide a countdown of poems for Halloween, in a book which is brightly written and vividly illustrated. Poems range from the lighthearted (a house inhabited by mummies and Banshees), to the wonderfully absurd (sweet-loving Vikings) to the genuinely haunting (The Phantom Highwayman).
