This spooky addition to Alvin Schwartz’s popular books on American folklore is filled with tales of eerie horror and dark revenge that will make you jump with fright. There is a story here for everyone—skeletons with torn and tangled flesh who roam the earth; a ghost who takes revenge on her murderer; and a haunted house where every night a bloody head falls down the chimney.

This book is a collection of short horror stories for children. 

To be fully honest here the majority of the short stories in this book are very boring and uninteresting. They are also very short which really makes it hard to actually get into them.

The illustrations here are very good and I loved looking at them while reading this book. Because in a way they have added more eerie feeling to this book.

The beginning of this book was pretty good with 2 okay horror stories. But after that it went down the hill.

The writing style here was very simple and easy. And from the writing style, it is clear that it is meant for children because the writing style is too simple and too easy.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
