What do you guys think is the scariest Deltora book? It can be from any of the three series.
Shifting Sands was really freaky for me. Even before they got to the desert...
Feel free to express what you think. :D

It's been a long time since I've read the books myself (currenlty taking steps to try and reobtain them!)
But one of the things that I remember most from when I was a kid, that kinda freaked me out, were the Blood Lilies/Fleshbanes.
I remember their encounter with those being extremely intense and it freaked me out.
I think I was scared of flowers for a while.

I happen to have all of the books from series 1, still sealed in plastic if you're interested in them. I already had them, so I'd like to get rid of them. It's the new publication though, not the original one. Text's the same, just the cover artwork (not the pictures of the monsters themselves, but the circular patterns and such) are different. Would you like to buy them from me? I can show you some pictures. They're good as new :) I hope me trying to sell these books here doesn't make the rest of the staff look down on me lol.

Are you serious?
I just ordered Series 1 from Amazon like ten minutes ago.
It's probably not too late to cancel the order but... I did get them for under $10, incuding shipping.
I don't want to force that kind of deal on you XD
By the time you read this, it'll probably be too late to cancel. But... (hmmm...) the ones I bought are used. I certainly would enjoy having a sealed copy to keep safe too. So... name your price, and I'll see if I can afford it.
My roommate just lost his job this week though, so we don't exactly have a lot of money right now.

I won't want to take money from you that you might need to support yourselves. So just buy the used ones. Though, what is the seller's price?
The person you ordered the used books from. What was the price he had named and/or posted them under?
Sorry for the long reply!
The first half were sold for $4.00, with free 2-day shipping through Amazon Prime.
(Getting those Tuesday!)
The second half were sold for $1.98, with $2.99 shipping.

The adult masks that fuse onto your face, and the thing with Kirsten and that emerald castle. Gives me the shivers! I said Isle of the Dead, because the idea of the people rowing the ship being forced to work is seriously creepy. And it was extra spooky when they started to break free and try to get into the gambling room of the ship. The description of their torn fingers and stuff was creepy in the most awesome way. And then there's the visions of the past. Those were cool. I wish Rodda would write more books in the universe with more creepy, horror-esque themes. That'd be awesome.
DQ 1- The Valley of the Lost Evil Fardeep was so scary especially with his creepy monsters that were tied to his flesh! DQ 2- The Isle of Illusion The Arachs scared the heck out of me! DQ 3- also a tie between Shadowgate and The Isle of the Dead The way Emily Rodda depicted Verity, her defiance and bravery was amazing! Laughing Jack and his crew chilled me to the bone. When Jasmine, sobbing ripped the mask of Liefs head and he was screaming abuse at her. His face was bloody, torn and scarred. That scared me and I stayed away from masks for about a year!
Yes, that scene in Shadowgate was incredibly painful and difficult and scary to read. Especially seeing Lief so changed by the mask. Any sort of mental brainwashing-type stuff creeps me out, so that scene really affected me. But I think that the scariest part of the novel was the climax, with the snakes attacking Kirsten of Shadowgate. In fact, the whole book was a load of nightmare fuel, and I will always consider it the creepiest book in DQ3.
