Seven scary stories to tell at night in front of a fire or in the dark, based on traditional stories and folktales from various countries.

The day gets off to a rough start, but soon the smell of pancakes fills the air and a family gathers for a breakfast feast.

Traditional and modern-day stories of ghosts, haunts, superstitions, monsters, and horrible scary things.

"Walking corpses, dancing bones, knife-wielding madmen, and narrow escapes from death, they're all here in this chilling collection of ghost stories, collected and retold by folklorist Alvin Schwartz. These horrific tales are guaranteed to raise goosebumps. Let the faint of heart beware. Pull up a chair, find a hand to hold, and prepare to be horrified." -- Publisher's description.
