Oh my gosh I know what book this is and it's going to drive me nuts trying to remember what it's called!
hey catherine, No it wasn't because the arts all wrong it was in color. and christine Yayayay!!! finally i just can't remember i remember the tales the artwork but not the name of the book it's driving me crazy. just honestly hoping someone can help because This book holds so much good childhood memories for me.
Could it be a sequel to scary stories to tell in the dark? There were a few.
no it's none of them. the book graphics were in color. it was a little book too like those ladybird books I think.
I'll try and hunt down the sqeruals to the scary tales but I don't think it was any of them it might be though
I just want to say thankyou very much for help given me to ppl that replied to my post thankyou xx

I will do kate I've been looking on goodreads but still no joy. :(
Could it potentially be either Tales for the Midnight Hour (1977) by J.B. Stamper or Short and Shivery (1989) by Robert San Souci?Here's a list of children's scary story collections. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

Harriet, who is the author?
Bruce Coville's Book of Spine Tinglers: Tales to Make You Shiver ?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
This could also be the one Harriet was thinking:

I've been looking for this book for years!! It was made in the 1980's or 1970s and was a book about children's spooky tales it was a UK maybe USA book I think? It wasn't scary tales to tell in the dark. But the artwork was fantastic. The tales I recall from it were.
A old woman who found a toe in some bean plants and then found 3 graves with skinny men in them.
A boy who was sleeping on a pillow of bread.
and a candle alone in a room.
and a ghost couple walking in a country lane.
The ending had some kids and an old man walking up an old tower and then a picture of a creepy zombie woman in her grave smoking.
For life of me I can't remember the name of the book! could anyone help me?
