Truly Scary Stories for Fearless Kids
Truly Scary Stories for Fearless Kids | Bill Slavin, Joe Weissmann
3 posts
Here is an eerie collection of stories and poems from around the world and across time. With classic tales by such writers as Bram Stoker, Washington Irving, W.W. Jacobs, E. Nesbit and Guy de Maupassant, each story is guaranteed to send delicious shivers through even the most stalwart young reader. Readers will meet a groom who shows up for his wedding .... dead; a man who robs his wife's grave and is haunted by her ghost every night; and even a boy who agrees not to reveal that he out-frightened the resident ghost in return for vanishing lessons. Fully illustrated throughout in fabulous colour, this collection is sure to become a family favourite. Stories include: - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving - The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service - Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker - Buggam Grange: A Good Old Ghost Story by Stephen Leacock - Wedding by E. Nesbit

I‘ve been a late from posting, but sure keeping track of my shows and reads. 30 stories, continuing for 2 hours in 4 readathons. I enjoyed this scary story treasure book, and with a local-to-Ontario tale ‘Buggam Grange: A Good Old Ghost Story‘ by Stephen Leacock. 👻🍁

One of my classic favourites, The King of the Cats, during an hour read last night, in 4 readathons. I‘ve found a few new discovery stories (noting these for points) and continuing with more in the book tonight! 👻

Thanks to #TeamBOOkLovers for having me in, for this October‘s #Scarathlon2023 @Bookwormjillk

I‘ll get to more of my early-bird posts on Monday; but for now, I can share a real treasure that I just found the other day, at a Scotiabank book sale! 😍🎃 I wonder how I had never noticed this seemingly rare find, back in 1999! This book is fully illustrated, with all the best horror classic! Lots I‘m excited to share more about in October! 👻

Bookwormjillk Great find! 8mo
TheQuietQuill Oh my goodness! I had this book when I was little! I got it from a bargain bookstore, and the pictures and stories scared me when I was younger. Awesome find and enjoy! 8mo
Dan_SpiderCrafts @TheQuietQuill That‘s really cool, that you had this book! :^) I was so into the Goosebumps books as a kid, and any of these story collections I could find. Some of the tales I know well, such as The Kit-Bag as a Blackwood favourite. I‘m really excited for so many here that I haven‘t read before. 7mo
