Definitivamente si buscas algo que te asuste y horrorice este libro no es para ti， como dice el título son cuentos de miedo para antes de dormir y aunque todos pueden disfrutar estas historias se nota que esta dirigido asustar niños pequeños， algunas historias parecieran que les faltan hojas porque terminan de una manera que son como los screammers pero leyéndolo para uno mismo no funcionan a menos que alguien lo leas a alguien mas y si podrías darle un susto pero mas por el hecho que t e indica Definitivamente si buscas algo que te asuste y horrorice este libro no es para ti， como dice el título son cuentos de miedo para antes de dormir y aunque todos pueden disfrutar estas historias se nota que esta dirigido asustar niños pequeños， algunas historias parecieran que les faltan hojas porque terminan de una manera que son como los screammers pero leyéndolo para uno mismo no funcionan a menos que alguien lo leas a alguien mas y si podrías darle un susto pero mas por el hecho que t e indica donde gritar y eso， sin embargo si hubo historias que estuvieron tan interesantes que las busque aparte para ver si el relato continuaba al fin y acabo son leyendas e historias recopiladas de las vivencias de esos años。 Tenemos que resaltar que para esa época estaban muy bien para la nuestra después de ver tanto material en el cine de horror ya no nos generan un terror， Recomiendo mucho mas leer la versiones originales y no tanto esta recopilación， debido a que en esta faltan cuentos como el de la dama pálida que esta en la película y no se porque no lo pusieron aquí， y además las ilustraciones en esta edición aunque bonitas no compiten con las originales con esas si que puedes llegar a asustar a alguien， en cambio las de esta edición son muy amables。 。。。more

*3。5This was an ok collection of scary stories。 The stories themselves were a lot more child friendly than I was expecting but the illustrations are what really boosted the rating for me。Most of the stories followed the same formula， man/woman sees some supernatural entity and then they disappear never to be seen or heard from again。 Or man meets woman， gives her something， man discovers woman is actually dead and her ghost is wearing whatever he gave her。The best stories are the ones that didn' *3。5This was an ok collection of scary stories。 The stories themselves were a lot more child friendly than I was expecting but the illustrations are what really boosted the rating for me。Most of the stories followed the same formula， man/woman sees some supernatural entity and then they disappear never to be seen or heard from again。 Or man meets woman， gives her something， man discovers woman is actually dead and her ghost is wearing whatever he gave her。The best stories are the ones that didn't follow this formula。 My favourites were:1。 The Big Toe2。 Me Tie Dough-Ty Walker3。 The Hearse Song4。 The Girl who Stood on a Grave5。 Room for One More6。 The Viper7。 Aaron Kelly's Bones8。 The Bride9。 The Drum10。 The Bed by the Window11。 The Dead Man's Hand12。 The Bad News13。 The Appointment14。 Like Cat's Eyes15。 Harold16。 Such Things Happen17。 Sam's New Pet18。 Maybe You Will Remember19。 The Red Spot20。 You May Be NextOverall，⭐⭐⭐。5OR👻👻👻。5 。。。more

Ladymoiraina2021 ，

So this only got four stars because of the second books watered down retellings。 The rest of the other two books are superb and are fresh for adults if you’ve already heard some of these folk tales but they’re still acceptable for kids。 Good for reading out loud and reading for or to kids。

I like the Scary Stories books but I did not like the movie as much。 Read this book！

Ça fait un an que j'essaie de finir ce livre。。。 et je lance la serviette。 Je comprends que ça s'adresse à un public plus jeune et j'admets que quelques-unes des histoires sont un peu effrayantes， mais les récits sont très clichés et tellement courts qu'on devine la chute après quelques lignes。 Les illustrations sont vraiment super， mais j'ai détesté la façon dont sont présentés les textes （surtout dans la première partie， où le narrateur brise complètement l'atmosphère des histoires en nous disa Ça fait un an que j'essaie de finir ce livre。。。 et je lance la serviette。 Je comprends que ça s'adresse à un public plus jeune et j'admets que quelques-unes des histoires sont un peu effrayantes， mais les récits sont très clichés et tellement courts qu'on devine la chute après quelques lignes。 Les illustrations sont vraiment super， mais j'ai détesté la façon dont sont présentés les textes （surtout dans la première partie， où le narrateur brise complètement l'atmosphère des histoires en nous disant qu'il faut se jeter sur notre public pour lui faire peur？？ et autres techniques pour l'apprenti raconteur）。 Quand j'ai vu le dossier de 50 pages qui m'attendait à la fin du recueil pour m'expliquer l'inspiration et la chute de chaque nouvelle， j'ai abandonné à 30 pages de la fin。 Et j'aurais dû arrêter bien avant。J'aurais probablement aimé ce recueil à 10-11 ans （et eu beaucoup de cauchemars）， mais visiblement pour les plus vieux， c'est assez ennuyant。 。。。more

Contrary to what the title says， you should NOT read this in the dark。 Also， some of the illustrations gave me nightmares， which I don’t remember happening when I read this as a child。 Stephen Gammell， you are one SCARY talented dude。

David Thomas ，

Fantastic compendium of spooky folkloric tales written in simple English， intended for consumption by children I'd estimate around grade school level。 From the footnotes， most of them go way back， at least one of which dating all the way back to ancient Rome。 These stories were definitely formative to me。 The stories themselves are great， but the illustrations are what really make them special。 Sadly， most of the modern reprints replace the terrifying watercolors with more age-appropriate and wa Fantastic compendium of spooky folkloric tales written in simple English， intended for consumption by children I'd estimate around grade school level。 From the footnotes， most of them go way back， at least one of which dating all the way back to ancient Rome。 These stories were definitely formative to me。 The stories themselves are great， but the illustrations are what really make them special。 Sadly， most of the modern reprints replace the terrifying watercolors with more age-appropriate and way less cool versions。 It's a good thing that this collection of all three books preserves the original art。 。。。more

Charlene Luna ，

A very quick listen about 3 hours。 The narrator is perfect for this audiobook！

Brianna ，

These are excellent shory stories and the art captivated me even as a kid。

Veronica （ moon & coffee。 ） ，

I never read these as a kid （was more of a Goosebumps kid） so first time reading。 I enjoyed this collection。 Actually， I had fun and I even got the chills a few times。 If I had read this when I was a kid？ I have no doubt I would have absolutely enjoyed them。A+ straight up。 Deserves 5 stars。

Wyatt Trunk ，

A smorgasbord of excellently scary tales for cold and dark nights。

Trimid Lanns ，

Fun trip down memory lane forgot how exceptionally silly these stories are Great for trying times

Michael D Jedlowski ，

Nostalgia really wraps this one up。 I remember the stories and the art some 20 years later。 Pretty easy read as well。

Jesus Zuñiga Soto ，

Excelente libro， me recordó las historias que se contaban en reuniones familiares cuando éramos pequeños。

I adore this book since I was a kid， someone took it and I had to rebuy it because its so hard to find the rerelease。

The story selection in this collection is massive and the review length limit is abysmally small， so unfortunately I can't review every single story on it's own merits。 Instead， I will review each of the three books contained and then the set as a whole instead of every story presented。***Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark - 1/5Yawn。 Far more a guided script for how to tell campfire stories with cheap jumpscares than any sort of anthology， this book was unenjoyable to me。 The writing style is sti The story selection in this collection is massive and the review length limit is abysmally small， so unfortunately I can't review every single story on it's own merits。 Instead， I will review each of the three books contained and then the set as a whole instead of every story presented。***Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark - 1/5Yawn。 Far more a guided script for how to tell campfire stories with cheap jumpscares than any sort of anthology， this book was unenjoyable to me。 The writing style is stilted and repetitive and most stories are uninteresting with no true plot or ending。 I can't imagine it appeals to anyone over the age of eight， and even then I'd hesitate to suggest they read something like this instead of， for example， Goosebumps。 At least the Goosebumps books have a bit of literary merit！***More Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark - 2/5Well， at least these are actual stories and not lame poems or cheap scripts reliant upon repetition and jump scares。 That， unfortunately， is the best I can say。 I did enjoy one or two on a superficial level， but the majority just induced a "meh" reaction。 The art is the scariest part of this book， and I recall it giving me nightmares as a child。***Scary Stories 3 - 2/5This book has great art but sloppy stories。 For example， the first story says a boy drove a truck into town and had an encounter while there。 It terrified him， so he drove back and begged his grandfather to let him borrow a truck so he could drive somewhere else。 （How did this make it past editing？！） Another story cuts off in the middle of an important reveal at the ending; when I looked it up on the scary stories wiki， the text also ended in the same place so I don't think there is an error in my copy。 They did have an explanation， though， so bless wiki writers and/or potential revised copies。。。 shame it was incredibly lame and more implausible than if the story had been paranormal。 As for the other stories: Several of them have unpleasant elements involving murdered pets and most are so rushed and clearly telegraphed that all suspense is lost。 That said， however， there are a couple of very good stories in this book。 My favourite involves a scarecrow and feels vaguely reminiscent of the Jeepers Creepers movies in tone - strange and comedic but also a little scary and quite gory。 It was not enough to make this book worthwhile， but it did entertain me - unlike most of the other stories provided。 ***Overall Collection - 1。5/5（rounded to 2 because half stars are not an option）I wasted my time reading this collection of books and made a terrible choice to kick off 2021's reading challenge。 And I definitely wouldn't recommend any of the books in this collection to children。。。 or adults。The stories here are extremely outdated to the point it includes "Indians" to describe Native Americans， casual killing of pets， a mischievous gypsy， and an overweight woman reincarnated as an ugly hog。。。 among other things。 Do I think an old text should be censored or judged retroactively？ No。 But I do think things like this are important to acknowledge and since I didn't care for the "plots" in most stories， that left me with nothing to notice other than the unpleasant elements。 I just did not enjoy the experience。Perhaps people with nostalgic ties to one or all of these books have a bias or perhaps I'm just not the target audience。 。。。more

Lauren Crofts ，

I don’t have much to say about the Scary Stories Collection， I laughed a few times， found certain aspects somewhat spooky， but that was probably due to the illustrations which i will admit， were pretty impressive。 However most of the stories seemed very similar to me and I think I was just a little disappointed。

Hubo muchos cuentos que me gustaron， como el de las Luces Altas que es geniaaaal， pero lo que no me gustó es que las historias son muy pequeñas y cortas， siento que necesitaba más。 Me parecía muy divertido que hubiera instrucciones para el narrador， estoy segura de que funciona muy bien para un grupo de niños pequeños， pero honestamente ninguno me generó ni un poquito de miedo so。。。No sé si leeré los otros dos， probablemente sí， porque son muy cortos y hay varias historias que me dan un poco de Hubo muchos cuentos que me gustaron， como el de las Luces Altas que es geniaaaal， pero lo que no me gustó es que las historias son muy pequeñas y cortas， siento que necesitaba más。 Me parecía muy divertido que hubiera instrucciones para el narrador， estoy segura de que funciona muy bien para un grupo de niños pequeños， pero honestamente ninguno me generó ni un poquito de miedo so。。。No sé si leeré los otros dos， probablemente sí， porque son muy cortos y hay varias historias que me dan un poco de escalofríos， y pues yap。 。。。more
