This is a children's book of spooky stories. I remember reading the first book in elementary school and it was good fun.
It's not scary but spooky and mixed with funny and some kid friendly light horror or thriller stories.
What I enjoyed best is if you ever seen the movie urban legends or watched I know what you did last summer or saw TV series on urban legends and their origins, the author mentions Alot of these but in a child appropriate way not getting into the dark details but a simple summary.
As an adult reading this book I realize how much of these stories have evolved or devolved into our cultures. I appreciate these books not only for nostalgia sake but because it's just human psyche to create stories to try to explain what we don't understand or as warnings for survivability reasons.
If your looking for horror or nightmare fuel this is not it. They are quirky pg rated funny and sometimes nutty or simple versions of spooky stories and urban legends. It's a great light read.

I remember me and two of my friends at sleepovers would each grab a Scary Stories book and take turns reading the stories out loud. Some of the stories were really good but others...not so much.

Not super scary by any means by nostalgic from when I was younger and still a fun quick read
Qué buena forma de cerrar la trilogía.
No sé si fue intencional, o las historias se les fueron acabando y tuvieron que escarbar en el lore gringo pero hay historias muy interesantes aquí.
Me inclino más por lo segundo, la primera entrega de Scary Stories tenía que atrapar con las historias que ya conocemos todos, aquí cierran con broche de oro con historias poco conocidas, y al parecer en el transcurso de esta mini saga, fueron puliendo la forma de contar las historias.
Mención honorífica al ilustrador que desde la primer parte le da un toque magnífico a la lectura.
Imprescindible para la época de Halloween

lol it’s crazy how many of these stories I remember hearing as a kid from friends—not knowing they came from these books!

It was ok, some stories were short and barely scary (by some, I mean like 99%), the 1%? Actually good, but, nowhere near as scary as say, the nightmarys, not even close, but, in the authors defence, it was made for like 8 or 9 year olds, and, when I first read it (before I had any exposure to actually very scary books), it was 5 stars, but, because now, when I reread it, and I had exposure to books like the nightmarys, I realized it isn’t really that scary.
