Scary morbid silliness! These stories are made with the purpose of "jumping out" at the reader. Appropriate for children as young as 5-8, and older! Recommended By Michelle B., Powells.com

From the same author that brought us one of my childhood favorites, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, comes a retold collection of short, slightly-humorous-but-also-scary stories suitable for younger audiences (grades 1-3). My favorite tale is "The Green Ribbon." Recommended By Tiffany R., Powells.com

His collections of scary stories -- Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, Scary Stories 3, and two I Can Read Books, In A Dark, Dark Room and Ghosts! -- are just one part of his matchless folklore collection.
