A really fast read, but I loved how these original illustrations pair with the stories. I’m trying to decide if the second story is fatphobic…

This book was fun to read!
The stories are interesting and would definitely be considered a bit scary and creepy by the intended age group. I wish I was younger so that I could have been properly creeped out!

I know this book has been really important to many American adults who read it as kids. I came to it first as an adult. These are clearly perfectly pitched 'scary' stories for kids.
My twelve-year-old loves it.

This book is what started it all for me. I read this in kindergarten with my friends and then bought an exclusive copy a year ago and absolutely love it. It brings back so many memories and nostalgia.
