Book Description:

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!

A few of the stories in this book left you saying "huh?", but all-in-all, it's a great book to read around a campfire at night or maybe on an evening hayride (especially at Halloween). Many of the stories have notation in () telling the reader to scream or yell 'boo' to make listeners jump, but they aren't so scary they'll leave kids having nightmares. The back cover recommends the book for ages 9 and up, and for the most part, I agree with that, with the exception of a handful of tales that could be read to slightly younger audiences.

Wow! This brings back the memories. I read these as a child and my teacher would read them to us on those days when it was just too danged hot to do anything productive. The stories are all super creepy, as are the illustrations.
