Description
This spooky addition to Alvin Schwartz’s popular books on American folklore is stuffed with tales of eerie horror and dark revenge so one can make you jump with fright.
There is a story here for everybody — skeletons with torn and tangled flesh who roam the earth; a ghost who takes revenge on her murderer; and a haunted space where each night a bloody head falls down the chimney.
Stephen Gammell’s wonderfully creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozen scary stories — or even scary songs — all good for reading by myself or for telling aloud at midnight.
