I purchased this set for my children who love scary stories. I was careful not to purchase copies with the updated artwork, being a huge fan of the originals, but it never occurred to me that they might vary in size from the original as well. I still have the original copies from my own childhood, which I treasure enough not to hand over to smaller children, and was disappointed at the size of these copies. The artwork is the same but the books are not the same quality as the originals. These are fantastic stories with fantastic artwork, and are the best of this type of book anywhere, but I’m reviewing this publication of the book and not the book itself. Clearly, they were trying to save a few bucks by printing on lower quality paper and shrinking the text and pictures and cutting out the margins, but the older, more expensive copies are the way to go if you’re wanting the same old experience. Just my two cents.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series growing up. I lost track on how many times I read them. I wanted to be able to share this with my kids. My sister took our copies years ago when she moved. So I bought this set. It was very important that it had the original illustrations. The pictures are the best part of the books!! I'm glad to be able to share this with my kids and they are loving them just as much as I do!!!

I read these books a lot in my school library when I was in middle school. I had those images burned into my memory from it and it made them so unsettling to me. Without those original artworks, the impact of the reading experience was just flat and lost. So when I saw these were the original artworks, I was delighted and a little dubious. Too many times I have been disappointing with the falsehood of the claim of original artworks. These, however came as described with the original artworks and in absolutely perfect condition. I'm more than ecstatic that I finally have these classics in original form in my collection!

If you are going to buy these books, this is the place to get them, in this specific set. I had to search a bit to find the original set, since there's also a new box set that doesn't include the original art. If you're familiar with these books, the original art is breathtaking and about as spooky, eerie, and disturbing as it gets. To the publishers, who have made new art for other editions, you are committing sacrilege, go back to the original art, please!!
This is the set to get (my seller was 'Retired Elementary Schoolteacher'), and I got exactly what I wanted (versions with the original art) and I was very satisfied.

My books were as described "like new". The only flaw was that somehow there was a rip on the cover in the middle of the spine in all 3 which was weird, but no matter, the pages were in pristine condition!
The only other thing that was different about these books from when I grew up was that I remember the books being slightly larger in size and also the paper was thicker stock, but again, no matter! This was just what I was looking for.

I, like many others, have always loved these books. I have been on the hunt for books of my youth and knew I needed these. I did see other versions of these, but I wanted the most close to original as I could get and for sure wanted the original artwork - it's what always made reading these a bit more eerie.

I'll admit, I had never heard of these stories when I was a kid. Recently, my kids (ages 9 and 7) had been begging me to tell them scary stories before bed. I kept telling them I thought it was a bad idea because I didn't want them to have bad dreams--and I didn't want them to wake me! But, those buggers were persistent and asked me every night for a week so I jumped on Amazon and started looking for scary story books and came across these.
The very day we got these, we all hunkered down in my 7-year old's bed and read one of the stories. Yup, you guessed it, later that night my youngest came into my bedroom crying because she thought a ghost was going to eat her. Mission accomplished.....I guess!
But you know what? A few days later she was begging for me to read these again. I'm toughening her up and getting her ready for the zombie apocalypse...she's a light sleeper so she may be my first line of defense when zombies attack in the middle of the night.
These are great, short, spooky stories that only take a few minutes to read. I like how the stories are categorized by the type of "scare" they offer...like some stories end with you screaming "boo!" or "eeek!" something similar.
These would be perfect to read during a camping trip sitting around a campfire. There's nothing like showing your kids you love them by scaring their pants off.

These are the books with the correct illustrations! Illustrations by Stephen Gammell and stories retold by Alvin Schwartz, you can't go wrong here. The only difference I have noticed from my book I originally bought in the 90's is a slight size difference. These reprints are slightly smaller, as seen in my picture, but it's not a big deal at all. So ya, whether you want to relive your childhood or just give your kids the same nightmares you used to have, this set of books is definitely worth buying.

As described. The original books with original artwork as shown in the picture. They are paperback though, which is fine, I just had the hardcover when I was a kid so it would have been nice to have the same ones, but still awesome to have these again, expensive nostalgia, but worth it!
