A Ghost Hunter's Alphabet Book For Kids

A brand new children's picture book aims to introduce young minds to the spooky world of the paranormal in a playful and age-appropriate way. 'G Is For Ghost: A Ghost Hunter's Alphabet Book' by Laura Searle is packed full of haunted fun from A to Z.

From Apparition to Zener Cards, this charming alphabet book brings the world of ghost hunting to life through whimsical cartoon-style illustrations and gentle descriptions designed for children who are just learning their letters. While the book is suitable for ages three and up, it's likely to be the parents - particularly those with a love of the paranormal - who'll get the biggest kick out of this 53-page full-colour book.

Each letter introduces a different ghostly idea, object or character. There's a spooky Basement, sticky Ectoplasm, and even a brave Lone Vigil. You'll find gadgets like REM-Pods and K-II Meters, plus a few friendly frights like Poltergeists and Wailing ghosts - all rendered in a style that's more cheeky than chilling.

The book makes no attempt to scare. Instead, it presents ghost-hunting tropes with humour and simplicity, offering a soft introduction to the vocabulary of paranormal investigation without diving into anything too intense or sinister. It's ideal for bedtime reading, Halloween fun, or as a novelty gift for ghost-obsessed grown-ups who want something a bit different for their little one's bookshelf.

'G Is For Ghost' is the second book by Laura Searle. Her debut, 'Threads To Souls: An Exploration of Voodoo & Poppet Magic', was published in 2021 and took a more adult-focused look at folklore and magical traditions. This follow-up couldn't be more different in tone, but still draws on the same fascination with the unexplained.

At its heart, 'G Is For Ghost' is a reinterpretation of the classic ABC book - one that swaps apples and balls for ectoplasm and spirit boxes, and does it with a grin. Whether you're a practising paranormal investigator, or your little one is just a Halloween lover, this is a unique addition to any haunted household.
