Fliers are a nuisance. They are annoying when they buzz around you, but you can brush them away with your hand. After all, a fly is only about half the size of your fingernail. But suppose it wasn't. Catch a fly and look at it closely - look at its head, its eyes, its legs. Now imagine that this thing was the size of a human being.. These eight stories offer horror in many shapes and forms, in worlds full of monster and evil spirits, where terror lies waiting in the shadows, and where the living and the dead dance hand in hand. The Oxford bookworms library offers a wide range of original and adapted stories, both classic and modern, which take learners from elementary to advanced level through six carefully graded language stages: Stage 1 (400 headwords) Stage 2 (700 headwords) Stage 3 (1000 headwords) Stage 4 (1400 headwords) Stage 5 (1800 headwords) Stage 6 (2500 headwords) This book is at stage 3.
