This title is misleading. It makes you think these stories are scary, and creepy. In fact, they're mostly very tame. The fun part, though, is that each story has a fantastic twist ending. I mean really fantastic. You hardly see them coming at all.
I don't know how easy it is to find this book in print anymore (see story below for how I came upon it, and the book fell apart in my hands as I read it), but if you can get your mitts on it, give it a read. You won't regret it.

I have a few books that have been around so long, I never pause to wonder where they came from. Used book stores, garage sales, boxes of books saved from the junk yard.
This is one of those. I love Alfred Hitchcock, have ever since I was a little girl watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents in reruns on Nick at Nite. So, it made sense that I would have this. Where did it come from? Eh, doesn't matter.
I decided to pick it up on a lark, as I haven't had time to make my usual library runs, so I don't have piles of library books to choose from now.
And about 30 pages in, I stumbled across a stamp from my old high school.
Apparently, 16 or so years ago, I stole this book from my high school library.
Oops.

I did not read them all. The ones I did read were predictable, but ok for a road trip.
