Get "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark", "More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark", and "Scary Stores 3: More Tales To Chill Your Bones," all by Allan Schwartz. Excellent books...some kinda gory, but kiddie gory, you know. Allan Schwartz compiled the stories from various sources, from folk legends, to storytellers, to children in the Appalachian mountains. We own all 3 books and love 'em to pieces. Don't forget to read "The Mexican Hairless" and "The Viper" in book 3.
