Everyone loves scary stories and award-winning comedy writer/director Carl Reiner invites readers to huddle close as he tells a young boy's tale of the mysterious house next door. Something with red beams of light shooting from its eyes was coming down the basement stairs. It came closer and closer... the hair on the back of my neck was sticking straight out. I finally saw it- and it was alive! As the story becomes spookier and spookier, Reiner pauses to ask "Shall we turn the page- or is it too scary?" That's for you to decide! Parents and children can read along together as they listen to spooky sound effects and Carl Reiner's hilarious performance of Tell Me a Scary Story... on the accompanying CD.

Enjoyed by 3rd to 6th grade readers (who are not easily scared) ages 8-12. I am Arthur Blackwood and I invite you to read this dark series of horror stories for kids. But wait! Don't accept my invitation yet. Are you easily frightened? This collection of scary stories is not for wimpy kids or the faint-hearted. You've been warned! However, if you crave classic stories of night beasts and demons, and if you seek tales of haunted history and Halloween terror, then step right this way. These books are for you. Arthur Blackwood's Scary Stories for Kids Who Like Scary Stories is perfect for fans of Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark, Goosebumps, and Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories. Beware! In this volume, you'll encounter creepy spiders, a haunted museum, monstrous secrets, a witch who is not to be trifled with, beasts lurking in darkness, and a boy who's not quite sure if he's himself or somebody else. One more word of advice: bring all the gasps, startles, and terrified screams you can find. You're going to need them.

This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns—and digital advancements—of our society. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7–12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media—online, social, and broadcast—on their current iterations. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. In addition to revisiting some of the legends highlighted in her first book, de Vos shares new tales in circulation which she sees as a direct result of technological advancements.
