This book is about 8 short stories by Anthony Horrowitz all about Horror.

Bath Night
This part of the story is about a newly installed bath which did belong to a Victorian axe murderer. The family’s daughter Isabel has been suspicious about the bath even before discovering it. The first time she turned the tap a red liquid came out which looked like blood and it scared her. Eventually she decides to destroy the bath with a monkey wrench. Her parents (Susan and Jeremy) catch her destroying it and then they put her into an asylum (A Mental hospital).
This first part of the book is quite scary and also makes you think twice before going into a bath!
