childrens short scary stories
Helpful Score: 1
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.
