Review(s):
“Outright skinpricklers . . . Offer this to those who already know San Souci's work or who want follow-ups for Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series, should it somehow stay on the shelf long enough to want company.” —Booklist
“Well-paced and satisfyingly startling . . . this book won't stay on the shelves for long. Murphy and Revoy's black-and-white illustrations heighten the fright factor, making San Souci's collection even more riveting.” —School Library Journal
“These original tales are not for the fainthearted: Many of the stories' protagonists end their tales dead--or worse. By turns poignant and downright scary, this is a solid addition for stouthearted middle-grade readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
