All the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books are wonderful. The stories are really scary while at the same time being written for kids, the drawings are really scary, and these books are some of my best memories of being a kid.

Wow, talk about childhood nostalgia. We used to sit around the fire pit in our backyard in California and take turns reading stories from this book series. Very, very appropriately chilling for children and young adults!

This book makes me wish I was still a kid going to slumber parties. Great creepy stories, and some funny ones, many of which I remember hearing at sleepovers and at camp. Not for the faint at heart!

I have read this book aloud to 4th graders as well as listened to it on audio at campfires. It is not that scary for adults, but it is just scary enough for those younger readers!

I read this...acutally listened to it and then realized these were all of the stories told on cool summer nights by one of the neighborhood mothers. Good memories.

The writing is simple and forgettable. The illustrations are enough to make this series well worth any kid's time (reading + nightmares).

Not really scary. A little creepy though and definitely gross, but I loved them when I was 13.
