All those who enjoyed shuddering their way through Alvin Schwartz’s first volume of Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark will find a satisfyingly spooky sequel in this new collection of the macabre, the funny, and the fantastic. 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, or to a murderer whose victim returns from the grave? Read about these terrifying predicaments as well as what happens when practical jokes produce gruesome consequences and initiations go awry. Stephen Gammell’s splendidly creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozen scary stories — and even a scary song — all just right for reading alone or for telling aloud in the dark. If You Dare!

This book is the second book in the “scary stories to tell in the dark” trilogy which is a collection of short horror stories for children. 

To be honest this book was much better than the first book in this trilogy. Because there were more of the good short horror stories.

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. However at the same time some of the short stories in this book was interesting and fun to read. 

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 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
