Lots of really nifty stories!
During a recent Cub Scout campout, I realized that I needed to expand my stock of scary stories. I checked this book out, and it is just perfect! These 28 (if I counted correctly) stories run from the funny to the downright frightening. Some are short and some are long. And, as an added bonus, one of these 28 is actually a song (Ba-Rooom!), and one is a game (A Ghost in the Mirror).

This is a great book, with a lot of really nifty stories. I especially like the "gotcha" stories, where you grab someone at the climax of the story. So if you want some scary stories for younger listeners, then I highly recommend that you get this book!

I had a little trouble getting to sleep after reading this!
The best part of Alvin Schwartz's book was trying to figure out the end of each story before I actually got to the end. Sometimes I got it right and sometimes the story had a twist. The length of the stories are perfect for younger ages of nine or ten but I think older kids would enjoy the book also. The illustrations that go with the stories sometimes made you think a particular story would be scarier than it actually was. Overall I enjoyed the book. It didn't take up a lot of time, I was done with it in one night!
