Scary stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you want scary and wierd stories to read then get this book. I have not read all of it but so far it is very good! One story that was good was Kittens. I read scary stories all the time and this book is one of them that I like.
Good collection of stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent selection of short horror stories, some by familiar authors, others not. Each story is creepy and disturbing in its own way, and the illustrations by Barry Moser perfectly capture the essence of each. I read these aloud with my 11-year-old son, and afterward found myself lingering over each story, thinking about some image or mood created by the narrative. (In a couple of the stories, the 19th-century phrasing was a little difficult for my son.) The collection could have been better yet by including more stories and more illustrations.
