Hello there fellow readers. Are you just like me, enjoying stories about things that go bump in the night? In the second book compiled by Alvin Schwartz, tales of terror spun through the ages are retold in the shadows.
This classic collection of terrifying tales and legends offers up some of the most chilling stories of dark revenge and supernatural events of all time. This book has less play-stories than the first, focusing more on the tales themselves, inspiring even darker nights and scarier dreams.
In this book, the tales are slightly longer than in the first book, thus encouraging readers to go the extra passage to unearth the bone-chilling revelation that each tale has to offer. It also has a section detailing the different types of supernatural entities mentioned throughout like poltergeists and vampires.
For young readers, the chills are enough to set them running for the hills. Readers like myself found the stories to be a tad amateur in the horror department. Nevertheless, it makes for fun reading with Halloween coming up in a few days time. More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark would make a lovely gift for young and young-at-heart horror aficionados.
