My favorite out of all Snyder’s books! I always get absorbed into the world of the Stanley kids no matter how many times I read it.

Holds up well as a favorite from childhood, but David has the patience of a saint with his new sister. I don't think I would've!

This book is more toward mystery than horror, since the end (SPOILER) ends with the main character's brother, states that he hears ghosts, and sees the cupid's head, placed in an awkward way.

When asked in an interview what his favorite book as a child was, Handler answered “Dino Buzzati's The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily and Zilpha Keatley Snyder's The Headless Cupid or anything else full of mystery and secrets.”

It had me thinking very hard and got me confused but overall its a great book.

Growing up, I listen to this on tape many times. It was neat to go back decades later and hear it again with adult ears. I can still hear certain lines in my head read by the original recording. I sure wish I could find that one.

This was another story my sister and I loved as kids, and checked out the record from the library over and over again. This is a great Halloween story with just a bit of creepiness and ghosts but also a look at kids and the issues they can face and how they can deal with them.

Zilpha Keatley Snyder's books are pure nostalgic fun for me. She writes imaginative young people very well. In this book, an unhappy preteen, fascinated by the occult, convinces her newly blended family that their rickety old house is haunted. She orchestrates elaborate schemes to back up her argument...bt some of the mysterious happenings in the house seem to defy explanation.

Loved this book as a kid.

A lot of it was predictable, but not the goosebumps.

A charming book from the past which I re-read. I always like Zipha Keatley Snyder. This is about how a family learns to be blended and a daughter obsessed with the occult starts to accept her new siblings.

Amanda is the new kid in the Stanley family. She believes in the occult and is moody when she moves in the country and into a supposed haunted house. David is the eldest of the Stanley family and tries to be patient with the bossy Amanda. When strange happens occur in the house, David must uncover if it really is a ghost or something else. The drawings by Alton Raible are magnificent as usual. I love how Zilpa writes and the worlds she creates.
