Synopsis
Telling scary stories is something people have always done. It is an old fashioned way of having a good time. Nobody tells scary stories better than Alvin Schwartz, and here, for the very first time, his three most spine-tingling books are together in one volume!
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was the first spooky addition to Alvin Schwartz's popular books on American folklore. It contains all sorts of scary stories, including traditional "jump" stories that will make your friends JUMP with fright, and age-old stories of ghosts and witches.
More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is the satisfyingly spooky sequel full of the funny, the macabre, and the fantastic. It asks all kinds of chilling questions like: Is it possible to die -- and not know it? What if a person is buried too soon? What happens to a thief foolish enough to rob a corpse?
Scary Stories 3 rounds out his collection of hair-raising tales that will make your flesh creep with more eerie stories about supernatural creatures and their strange goings-on.
Complete with Stephen Gammell's splendidly creepy and bone-chilling drawings, this collection is perfect for reading late at night -- in the dark and gloom -- if you dare!

May 22, 2009: This book is not as scary as it's made to be. The whole thing is just stupid to me.
My 12 year old enjoyed it.by Anonymous

February 23, 2009: My 12 year old seemed to really like this book. She liked the three story lines presented. I don't like scary books but it age appropriate for her and the discussions we've had about the book seemed to interest her. She has read it twice since we bought it, which was a month ago. She likes the thrill of the stories and how real some of them are/seem.
