Some boys and girls were at a party one night. There was a graveyard
down the street, and they were talking about how scary it was.
"Don't ever stand on a grave after dark," one of the boys said. "The
person inside will grab you."
"A grave doesn't scare me," said one of the girls. "I'll do it right
now. . . ."
Welcome to the macabre world of Scary Stories, where folklorist Alvin Schwartz
offers up the most alarming collection of horror, dark revenge, and supernatural
events of all time. Here is a selection of extraordinarily chilling tales
along with spine-tingling illustrations by renowned artist Brett Helquist.
Anticipating the fun of exploring a cave he finds down by the beach,
Jerry dismisses the story the other kids tell him of the spooky three-hundred-year-old
ghost that lives in the cave and comes out when the moon is full.
