Summary: THE WENDIGO
Review: Not too long ago, I had a nightmare about "The Wendigo" in one of these books. When I read it now, I just have to read it more than once. I do not recommend it for kids who aren't as old as 10 yet. 10+up.
{The Guests is also very good}. These books can possibly keep someone up at night. I AM NOT KIDDING. THEY CAN BE SCARY.All of the stories are very very much enough to make someone shudder after thinking about what they had just read.{It makes me do that for some of them LIKE The Wendigo}. I DO recommend The Wendigo for camping trips.
REMINDER:MY MOM DID NOT LIKE THE MOVIE "SALEM'S LOT" BECAUSE I SAW WHAT THE VAMPIRES LOOK LIKE. {THIS JUST REMINDED ME OF THAT STORY IN HERE CALLED "THE WINDOW". Read that too! Read all of them!!

Summary: VERY SPOOKY!! IT'LL GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES!!
Review: This boxed set of "Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark" is absolutly incredible! I am now 18 years old and still can't get enough of this spooky stuff. The stories aren't too scary, but the illusions are very scary, morbid, eerie, and will give you nightmares!! Hey, ... these books still give me chills even after all these years. I love 'em. Stephen Gammell has given readers a rare treat with all the spooky and realistic black & white illusions. Alvin Schwartz is a heck of an author! These books are wonderful. Get em' all in this incredible boxed set. Enjoy it.

Summary: ahhhh grusome memories :)
Review: Well...myself like pretty much every single reviewer on here are fans of this series from childhood. I read this trilogy sometime around 3rd grade. I remember sitting in my room with the lights off..with a flashlight and reading until I got frightened outta my jammies. The stories are so-so ,even as a kid the stories alone were just entertaining. The illustrations however..gave me NIGHTMARES!!..I mean c'mon just look at them..what 9 year old wouldn't get nightmares..they're extremely grusome and gross..I LOVE EM!!. I'm so glad I found this box set , when I was a kid my mother thought these stories were a bad influence on me because she found a collection of stories I had written that "disturbed" her , so she threw these books away. Reading these now at the age of 20 bring back the days when children's horror stories were actually scary instead of moronic (Goosebumps , ect)..where a illustration scared a kid to death rather than them just taking up space. I want my children to have these. Children need a good scare. Beyond the imagery of death and decay , alot of these stories can teach valuable warnings to children such as "don't talk to strangers" and "stay away from this" and ect,ect. It's sad i've read where these books are being banned for "warping the mind's of children"..ha the Nickelodean channel has been doing that for decades...allow your children to read these books. Horror literature for kid's doesn't get much better than this

Summary: Campfire Stories
Review: When I was in elementary school in the early 90's my Girl Scout troop used to camp at the local Girl Scout Camp which had its own scary story/local legend to go along with it. We'd scare eachother around the campfire, taking turns reading these outloud. To this day, I am 22 now, we joke about "Wherrrrrrrrre's Myyyyyyyyyyyyy Liverrrrrr?" They are definitly stories meant to be told around a campfire, or at a slumber party when you can snuggle up in your sleeping bag and have fun. I also love the illustrations. They still creep me out! I recomend that every kid has these stories. They were definitly a memorable part of my childhood.
