Whether read in a quiet room with no one else
around, or shared aloud on a moonless night, this
book of scary stories will keep readers on the edge
of their seats. "(Includes) traditional ghost tales,
contemporary folklore, and chilling stories with
surprise endings. . . . Superb illustrations."
--The Horn Book.
From its foreword to its notes on ``Where the Stories
Come From,'' this ``I Can Read'' collection of seven
appealing, mildly scary stories is a model of authenticity:
the simplified but effective retellings honor both their
sources and their intended audience. Chess's tongue-in-cheek
illustrations add a perfect gruesome touch
