This series is spooky. I would have *loved* them as a child and I am entertained by them now as an adult. Recommend based on individual child and their own maturity and interest in the subject matter. It’s more of a niche so for kids who enjoy being spooked.

Note: this was the creepiest book of the entire series.

My kids love these books! They are great books for beginner horror fans

This horror series took me right back to the days I shivered while reading "A Dark Dark Room" by Alvin Schwarz. Perfectly terrifying for young readers, but always including some silly ideas too.

This one has some seriously creepy stories!!!

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE BOOKS!!! Ahem. This is the perfect series for 1) your young readers who are still on easy reader books but who are Very Brave and want an Actually Scary book OR 2) your readers who are old enough to be wanting to read books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but those books are still beyond their reading level. Although the books are written at an easy level, I still find them pretty terrifying. The illustrations are not as scary as Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but the stories have that same vibe - short, creepy, sometimes leaving the truly terrifying conclusion up to the reader and sometimes spelling it out.

Get these books if you have young fans of scary stories. Breed the next generation of horror readers. Do it. Do itttt.
