  • I love it

    By Elizabeth, Meghan, Markle
    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”.

    I’ve never seen the movie Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but I’ve read all three of these books. Like many people, I grew up with these books and, for anyone, absolutely any reader of any age looking for a great collection of horror stories, the kind of classic chillers to be told around a campfire, these books come highly recommended! This first bone-chilling collection features a dozen nightmares like The Big Toe, The Thing, The Haunted House, Cold as Clay, The Wendigo, Room for One More, Alligators, The Hook, The White Satin Evening Gown, High Beams, and The Babysitter, among other scare fests that are guaranteed to make you scream! I recommend telling these stories in the dark to scare friends, but I recommend reading them in a brightly lit room!

  • 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.

  • Fun memories

    Reminds me of being a kid. My cousins and I would get in a dark closet and use a flashlight and read these stories. It was always so fun and we’d always creep ourselves out. Great memories and I hope the movie lives up to expectations!

  • It’s great
