  1. I m not giving any stars here, only a warning beware which edition of this collection you choose, for if you choose unwisely, you will be sorely ripped off in ways than one I chose unwisely My edition is the 2010 updated version published by Harper Collins with new illustrations by Brett Helquist To say that it s been sanitized for safe consumption is an understatement The reason the original 1981 edition became an instant classic and a frequently challenged book in schools and libraries was fo [...]

  2. The illustrations were the really scary part of these books I remember being afraid to turn the page and look at the next one when I was a kid, peeling the next page over gradually like a Band Aid One pictured effed me up so badly I had to tape a piece of construction paper over it so I could flip through the book without having a heart attack.

  4. Confession time I was a scared kid growing up And I mean fucking terrified My imagination was fertile, and it tended to grow dark twisted things with thorns that were poisonous to my thoughts, vines of blackened fish hooks that would creep over me like ivy and ensnare my mind, body, and soul My early encounters with anything of the horror variety would take on a life of it s own, finding a nest in my kid brain where it could grow into something much monstrous Thinking back to my childhood, ther [...]

This book is featured on Halloween Reads for Children readrantrockandroll 2017 This is a great collection of short scary stories for kids to enjoy It s a book that I enjoyed as a child and can now share with my own kids Some of the stories are pretty scary and best for older readers, but a few of them can be read to younger readers as well There are plenty of traditional ghost stories, retellings and folklore to enjoy The black and white illustrations add even eeriness A few of our favorites in [...]

  6. As scary stories go, they are only slightly Sometimes they are funny, or just weird, or sad Except the one about Harold the Scarecrow God, that one is terrifying Oh and the spiders hatching from your face.But the illustrations The illustrations in this book are good old fashioned nightmare fuel I really don t know what they were thinking.I mean, what were they thinking Facebook 30 Day Book Challenge Day 8 Book that scares you.

  7. This is a wonderful little collection of stories that are chilling and, at times, rather funny A blend of urban legends and folk tales of ghosts and other creatures of the night and a series of sketches that are as scary as the stories they accompany create a result that is perfect for Halloween, for a cold winter s night or a stormy summer evening.

  10.

This review and other monstrosities on Blood Red Velvet.Room for one In the most twisted children s series to be splattered on paper Oh, always.I mean, how much can you really trust a kids book whose very first story is about cannibalism A boy finds a human toe in the garden, brings it to his mother, and what does she say It looks nice and plump I ll put it in the soup, and we ll have it for supper Brilliant Needless to say, the undead corpse is than disturbed that his big toe went to such use [...]

Is everybody having an especially lovely day Tucking in for a blissful night s sleep Good, I have something to show you I read this on my kindle late at night under the covers with nothing but the illumination of my phone screen to light the words Can you imagine my shock at the following appearing out of nowhere after the flick of the side button I don t have much to say about this collection other than I might be a little bit in love with Schwartz for putting together such a horrifically fun b [...]

  14. Reading All Hallow s Eve made me nostalgic for my introduction to horror My second grade teacher read us this book through the month of October, one story a day And I ve been trying to scare myself ever since.So, how does the original hold up, read after time has passed than I m willing to admit, and horror books and movies than I can count Amazingly well These are basically campfire stories, of course, but campfire stories need to be scary to work They are, in many respects, primal, no frills [...]

  15. Timeless stories adapted in an ageless manner, mixed with some of the most phenomenally horrific illustrations ever These elements make Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark and its sequels the best horror stories ever catered to children All the stories were well researched and no watered down than they had to be to find their audience All the grotesque and grossly horrific tales that once I read as a child, I never forgot Whether they generated an eerie chill or an uneasy laugh, they are still me [...]

  18. 5 55 stars for pure nostalgia and the gorgeous, terrifying, nightmare inducing illustrations As far as the collection of stories Eh, they re actually quite tame after all, this is a child s book Many of the tales are actually very silly, some intentionally so As an adult, none of them are frightening, but then there goes my sense of childhood wonder I suppose I am so happy to gradually be collecting the old Scary Stories anthologies, as as far as my knowledge goes the older editions with the Gam [...]

  19. The stories are not exactly how I thought they will be But they are exactly like the title refers to These are stories that one can tell in the dark and can scream,moan,jump basically can do whatever he wants to scare his friends And I actually succeeded in scaring my next door neighbour kid pBut still,the stories are too small and not scary at all unless you act your part in the ending Did I like the book No Will I read the next book in this series No So,there goes my 2 stars.

  20. First, I got all fired up about these stories after reading Monster Chefs, which was the complete opposite of Scary Stories, and then, I got all snarky on some poor guy I don t even know s review and that s when I realized, Man, I am so glad I own two of these books and now I must scour used book stores for the third and THEN I thought, Wait oh I ll bet I can find this being read online somewhere Because we, the library, read books for kids all the time and post said readings online so it only m [...]

  24. Warning Proceed with caution Oh bejesus, what was I thinking reading this at night Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is not for the faint of heart As the name suggests, you ll find a collection of scary stories here that are perfect to tell around campfires, or at slumber parties, or if you re like me, they re perfect reading material at night with the lights turned off If you do opt for the third option, I d suggest you prepare for a rather sleepless night In terms of the stories themselves, I [...]

  25. My father was a huge fan of all things scary when I was a child My brothers and I grew up reading this and other collections, not to mention the classics of Frankenstein, Dracula, and other horrors It was surprising to me when my younger brother mentioned missing this book, because I had been feeling the same way Nostalgia takes over sometimes.I found another copy recently, and got to read it once It took a little while for me to recapture that same fear I felt when I read the book the first ti [...]

  26. I have a feeling that I m not the only one that added this to my many years after having read the book Should we be doing that Do we really remember how we felt, and even the essentials of what happeend, from books we read in our childhood I m guilty of making the attempt here, and while I recall enjoying these stories, and even becoming slightly frightened by a few of them, I never thought of this as a favorite book, or became particuarly excited when the second set of Scary Stories came out.An [...]

  27. Alvin Schwartz did a great job collecting, selecting and retelling many of the best known folk tales, songs and urban legends in a way that s fun and scary for kids.Stephen Gammell s illustrations, however, are the real treasure here They re surreal and terrifying without being overly violent or gory They re perfect companions to the tales I know a new edition has comes out with new illustrations I can only imagine this has been done because Gammell s illustrations frequently land this book on b [...]

  28. This series was legit back in the day These aren t mere scary stories they re enhanced with cultural folklore and beautifully creepy illustrations These books were probably what initially sparked my interest in the horror genre As a little elementary schooler, I would check out these books from the school library and run to the bus so I could get home and read them, eyes wide with curiosity and probably a bit of terror Some of these stories have stuck with me and I still remember them even now.
