This spooky addition to Alvin Schwartz's popular books on American folklore is filled with tales of eerie horror and dark revenge that will make you jump with fright. There is a story here for everyone -- skeletons with torn and tangled flesh who roam the earth; a ghost who takes revenge on her murderer; and a haunted house where every night a bloody head falls down the chimney. Stephen Gammell's splendidly creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozen scary stories -- and even scary songs -- all just right for reading alone or for telling aloud in the dark.
If You Dare!
My Review:
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was awesome!
But I don't really have much to say. I don't carry any nostalgia with these books because I didn't read them when I was younger. Or felt any fear because I had heard some of these stories in other places before I knew they were from this.
Still, the stories were great and the illustrations were fantastic.
Although the illustrations in the edition that I have aren't as scary as the original illustrations. Those were nightmare inducing. And also fantastic.
