The "Notes and Sources" section of the three books in this trilogy are must-reads. They act as a debriefing for the horrors and hauntings of the stories, and I take advantage of that opportunity every time. You also learn a lot from these historical notes, and often they're entertaining.

I love this picture and its story. "Is Something Wrong?" remains one of my favorite funny tales in any of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories books.

"The Hog" is grouped with the supposedly humorous stories, but I find it more wistful than funny. Still, it's very good.

For an arachnophobe, could there be a more horrifying illustration?

I'll see if I can finish this book tonight. It's been a busy week, culminating in our house party last night, but there are few books that make for better Halloween reading than Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell's Scary Stories trilogy.

The Five Nightmares section is one of the most potent in any book of the Scary Stories trilogy. And here it comes...
