These stories are so original and haunting that they will stay with the reader for years. I read this book when I was in seventh grade, and now that I am a 30 year old man, I hunted a new copy down online, because I want to pass this treasure of stories along to my nieces and nephews and children. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy ASAP!

My uncle got me this book for my 13th birthday many many years ago. All my favorite authors with spine tingling stories to be told. I am going to get this book for my son's 13th birthday later this year. 😀

My parents got me a copy of this 12 or so years ago, and I absolutely loved it! I read and reread it so many times I wore out the pages. A perfect gift for any middle school horror fan! Over a decade later, I still remember each story fondly.

There was no mentioning that the spine was a little damaged at the bottom

So either I borrowed it from a library or bought it but regardless, I only picked it because it had R.L. Stine. He is amazing! Spooky but not necessarily scary. But The Spell was horrible. I had to double check that he did in fact write it. It's been a few years since I've read this book(s) but I specifically remember one story about a Ghost Rider or something and that was great! However.... My favorite scary story will forever be The Girl With The Green Ribbon. 😍😍
