"Yes, it's technically a children's book. But there are some great short tales in here, pulled from urban legends, folklore and in some cases, reality; if you weren't a child in the mid 80s and thus somehow missed this, you need to take a peek. Do yourself a favor and grab the older versions, though; the old illustrations are much more disturbing, and stick with you. The new "sanitized" ones are awful."
