Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Collected from American Folklore

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Collected from American Folklore Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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!

Synopsis:

Stories of ghosts and witches, "jump" stories, scary songs, and modern-day scary stories.
