Our view
“More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” gathers ghost stories and legends of revenge and the supernatural in a slim volume made for telling aloud. Alvin Schwartz draws on folklore, and the whole collection runs to just over a hundred pages. Some adult readers find it more charming than frightening and better aimed at a younger audience. Children looking for a first taste of spooky folklore are its likeliest readers.
