Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic! Just as I remember!
These books (and the audio that MUST be purchased separately) are a must for any horror fan or for someone looking for a late-night, spooky read. I remember being given these books as a child and loving to listen to George Irving tell the stories in his unique and over-the-top spooky style. I've always fancied the scary stuff, as I was a rare breed of female who became addicted to the blood-and-guts slasher flicks after watching Child's Play at the age of three. So, if you're a seasoned horror veteran who thinks you've become immune to achieving that feeling where the hair on the back of your neck stands up and you look around the room to make sure you're alone, think again! Buy these books, read along with the narrator, and be sure not to skip the intensely frightening illustrations. GREAT BUY!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Sinisters Delight
I was delighted with this order. I had read this book back when I was in school and I remember just how much fun I had reading it and have searched everywhere for it. I would sometimes come across one of the orders but I was either to broke or it was in bad condition.

I love the tales they have written in this box collection site. It has stories about old traditional folk lord which includes wolf girl(a girl who's raced by wolfs), Jone's special sausage(scary butcher tale), an old poems/songs. The very first book is full of advice on how to make the stories really scary when shearing out loud with children in the dark.

I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys scary stories and love telling them to children!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Looking for original pressings
OK, I am trying to get ahold of the original Scary Stories trilogy by Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammel.

The only difference I know is the artwork:

I would really like to find the original books/artwork...Thanks!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Memories of being scared to go to sleep
I loved these books when I was little- this is what got me started off on my love for scary books/movies/tv shows. I still remember some of the stories from the books, especially one where the dark is creeping over the ceiling and walls, and they always seem to come to mind when I'm in the dark trying to sleep. The pictures still scare me and I'm 26 now. I'd recommend these books for anyone who loves scary stories- get those kids started off early! And they'll scare adults too...



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - These are Not for the Faint of Heart
The stories you will find in these books are the most terrifying I have ever read. As I understand it, they originate from American Folklore. This, in addition to Gammell's truly disturbing artwork, adds the minute shot of realism that transforms harmless fiction to something that reads more like a short, historical, tale of warning. They are told in a simple, blunt manner, giving the reader the impression that they are hearing a historical account. As a kid I was addicted to horror, but these were the tales that led to literally months of sleepless nights. If you are buying them for a child with a vivid imagination, prepare his or her parents' for the ensuing insomnia.
