Oh and the new artwork looks like ****.
Do it! Have a flood of memories come rushing back! And I know. It's not even comparable.

I'd like to know the same thing honestly.

On another note, did anyone read any other books by this author? I remember reading "In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories" and they were just as morbid as these, yet hilariously still marketed to very young kids.

Just look at some of the Amazon reviews: Amazon.com: In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories (I Can Read! Reading 2) (9780064440905): Alvin Schwartz, Dirk Zimmer: Books

He must really like to terrify children. I'd like to meet him.

Well let's respect his fantastic work of horror sadism and find a way to rerelease the original version of scary stories.

I'm up for it! I still honestly can't believe they did this. I need to do something.

I feel like I own these books. If the big toe story involves a golden retriever, especially. There was also the girl with the prom dress, the subway slasher, the dollhouse...

I am a disgrace. But this certainly sounds like something I would have loved as a kid.
