Its subtlety and lack of ‘over-the-top-ness’ is its real power. . . . The stories contained aren’t even childish either—the young readers are never condescended. Collectively they deal with some very grown-up issues indeed, such as the difficulties of family dynamics, death, loss, domestic violence, and how our childhood fears help shape who we become as adults . . . For that reason alone I found it a much more mature read than so much of the ‘adult’ fiction out there today. . . . \u003cb\u003eA profound experience . . . spooky, creepy, multi-layered, \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e intellectual.\u003c\/b\u003e And that is what I believe most children really want when all is said and done—to be respected and taken seriously. \u003ci\u003eTerrifying Tales to Tell at Night\u003c\/i\u003e does that with aplomb, as well as being thoroughly enjoyable into the bargain. . . . The wonderfully macabre illustrations by Randy Broecker only serve to make this book all the more enjoyable, bringing me back to that great place in my own childhood.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhantasmagoria Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"What’s the first book that scared you? For me and readers of my generation, it was probably \u003ci\u003eScary Stories to Tell in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e and its sequels. Well, \u003cb\u003ethis generation now has its own seminal introduction to horror, and it hits many of the same marvelously creepy notes as its spiritual ancestor. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eTerrifying Tales to Tell at Night\u003c\/i\u003e is undoubtedly designed in the \u003ci\u003eScary Stories\u003c\/i\u003e vein, complete with similar pen-and-ink drawings, but with updated tales, all featuring children or teens as the protagonists. It’s a crash course in classic horror tropes— urban legends, Frankenstein’s monsters, danger lurking in the dark, hauntings, encounters with the dead— but still offers a few fresh surprises The stories in this collection range from the absurd (a tiger in the bathroom) to the supremely unsettling (a young girl’s gift of a zombie costume foreboding a much darker outcome than a spoiled Christmas), and it kicks off with one of my favorite creepy Neil Gaiman stories. And he’s not the only major name involved. This collection is packed with heavy hitters like Stephen King, Robert Shearman, and Michael Marshall Smith. \u003cb\u003eTop to bottom, this is terrific YA horror, guaranteed to make a new generation of young fans…if they’re brave enough to keep turning the pages.\u003c\/b\u003e\" \u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eManhattan Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"There is no doubt that\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eStephen Jones is one of the very best anthologists working in the horror and fantasy fields now or in the past.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—John Gilbert, \u003ci\u003ePhantasmagoria Magazine​\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"[Stephen Jones is] one of the genre's most enthusiastic cheerleaders.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"[Jones is] horror's last maverick.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Christopher Fowler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Stephen Jones . . . has a better sense of the genre than almost anyone in this country.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Lisa Tuttle,\u003ci\u003e The Times Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"A new anthology from Stephen Jones is always an event.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Dennis Etchison\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"WOW!
