Review
This is a reprint of Alvin Schwart's 1984 book "In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories" with new illustrations. The stories are still delightfully creepy and fun and the illustrations are the kind of terrifying that kids will love to get scared by. I remember this book from when I was a kid and based on how often Schwartz's "Scary Stories" books still get checked out, I'm sure this will be a huge hit with the younger readers. A must-buy.
