There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But I am glad to have been able to obtain this set, because you never know when they decide to remove them completely.
The artwork is superb, have never found art like this anywhere else. If I am wrong, please someone correct me. But as far as I know, have not seen this type of art anywhere else.
I highly recommend these throwbacks to adults and children alike.

Suitable for all ages (though young kids will find them terrifying, they'll love it too as that's the point!)
The first book in this collection (Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark) started off as a disappointment and was different to what I was expecting it to be like. There were instructions for you to give when you TELL these stories to people, like where you should speak louder, scream, jump etc, which distracted me from what I actually wanted, which was to read the stories. It took me out of that atmosphere and ruined those stories for me. These types of stories did slowly fade and you had the illustrations to always drag you back in. Overall, I gave Book 1, 3 stars.
Moving on to Book 2 (More Scary Stories), this is where I started to properly enjoy this collection and really race through the stories. There are several from this book that have just stuck with me and will do because of how normal they seemed and until boom. Plus because of how it could actually happen, which is the scariest thing for me. I rated this book 4 stars out of five.
The final book is this collection, Book 3 (More Tales to Chill Your Bones) was my absolute favourite. I was just completely into this collection at this point, I’m in ashamed to say, with all the stories, the illustrations, and I was sharing some of my favourites with people. Be warned, some people might not like you sharing some of these at night, especially those who don’t like horror to begin with! I did, I found it funny. There were even some longer stories that in this third book that you invested more time in and had more build up and more story to, which was strange as I believe this was the shortest out of the three. I took this book to work with me just so that I could finish the last few stories during my break. I rated this the highest at 4.5 stars.
I did sadly have to keep reminding myself that these stories weren’t true, even though I’m sure I read that it said that some of them were. Brilliant stories (some of them) with the illustrations to match. Started out disappointing but finished on a high note. There’s even more included after the stories, a section on the Forklore, myths and etc for you to dive into and explore.
