About this item
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 quesitons 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 this collection of hair-raising tales that will make your flesh creep with more eerie stories about supernatural creatures and their strange goings-on.
