Scary Stories
Grade 6–9—A collection of 20 previously published stories, some by well-known writers of horror such as Stephen King and H. P. Lovecraft, others by authors not generally associated with the genre, like Winston Churchill. Each selection includes a chilling black-and-white engraving, often placed near the end of the story for maximum effect. These tales are easily found elsewhere, whether it be in collections or in single editions, and are more creepy than gory. An additional purchase in libraries where short stories and horror are popular.—Michele Capozzella, Chappaqua Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
