More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

by Alvin Schwartz

More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

All those who enjoyed shuddering their way through Alvin Schwartz's first volume of Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark will find a satisfyingly spooky sequel in this new collection of the macabre, the funny, and the fantastic.

Is it possible to die — and not know it? What if a person is buried too soon? What happens to a thief foolish enough to rob a corpse, or to a murderer whose victim returns from the grave? Read about these terrifying predicaments as well as what happens when practical jokes produce gruesome consequences and initiations go awry.

Stephen Gammell's splendidly creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozen scary stories — and even a scary song — all just right for reading alone or for telling aloud in the dark.

If You Dare!

Review:

"Guaranteed to make your teeth chatter and your spinetingle." (-- School Library Journal)

Synopsis:

For fans of things that go bump in the night, here is a bewitching treat. "Not since "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" has there been a collection of horror stories as well suited for children."--"School Library Journal." Illustrations.
