Twenty-two scary stories from the American folklore canon - the vanishing hitchhiker, the roommate's death, the cat in the shopping bag, the bride in the chest - retold for readers who grew up on Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and never quite outgrew the thrill. Short enough to read aloud. Dark enough to stay with you.
- The Cabin by the Lake - three hikers take shelter from a storm and hear something being dragged down the stairs, one slow thud at a time.
- The Vanishing Bride - a game of hide-and-seek at a wedding reception. A heavy chest in the attic. A lid that locks from the outside.
- The Haunted Gift - a thief grabs a duffel bag from a parked car at the mall. He really, really should not have opened it.
- The Dare That Changed Everything - two boys enter an abandoned house on a summer dare. Only their footprints come back out.
- Elda's Eyes - a handyman pockets two bronze coins from a dead woman's eyelids. The coins rattle all night. So does she.
- The Simple Swap - a widow asks for a small favor at the funeral home. The mortician's answer is the last line you'll read before you close the book.
- Readers hunting for a Halloween gift book or a fall-season shelf centerpiece.
- Sleepovers, camping trips, slumber parties, and classroom read-alouds for older students.
- Anyone who wants a physical horror anthology for teens and adults - cover facing out, spine cracked on the coffee table.
- Fans of campfire ghost stories, American folklore, urban legends, and quiet-dread horror over splatter.
Adapted from the oral tradition catalogued by Alvin Schwartz, Jan Harold Brunvand, Vance Randolph and Katharine Briggs - the storytellers who preserved these legends before they faded from the campfire circle. Phantom Press brings them back in paperback, darker and cleaner than you remember.
Add it to your cart before October. Keep it on the shelf all year.
