APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Alvin Schwartz’s story collection for children (and others) is the stuff of nightmares—in a fun way. Some of the stories are truly chilling, while others are oddly unsettling or even funny…and they’re all based on American folklore or urban legends, giving them a compelling authenticity. Written to be read aloud around a campfire or at a sleepover, Scary Stories includes tips on when to pause for effect and when to lunge at your audience for maximum shriek factor. It’s Stephen Gammell’s iconic black-and-white illustrations, though, that take this book from creepy to downright hair-raising—so much so that it’s probably best saved for older kids.
Customer Reviews
Awesome
To all the people saying "oh the wait blah blah" and rating like one star, you're supposed to rate for the book, not the publishing.Also, yeah the book is old, but it was recently added because of the films and how popular they are.So if you say something about how long it's taking to come out, or about how old it is, you're being idiotic.These books are great and should be given more than what they're getting.
I love it
I really love this book, but there is one thing that stood to me. I saw the comment that said have this book and it wasn’t very positive. It had a one star and I just want to say if you’re not going to be positive about what you’re going to write in your comments, please do not comment at all you’re just spreading negativity and that’s just a fact. But anyways, this book is awesome. I own it, and I read all the stories like the big toe the girl who stood on the grave.
Childhood favorite!!
These were some of my favorite books as a kid. I had to add it to my collection. It’s a good book to have if you’re not good at telling scary stories to the kids sitting next to a campfire. This might be a controversial take, but I recommend this for kids who are into scary movies. I know back in the day there was an attempt to get these books banned but they were just as key to my childhood as “Where’s Waldo”.
