Book Reviews of Scary Stories Boxed Set
Book Review: "Harold" still gives me chills, 10 years after I read it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up loving these books, and have many a fond memory of reading them by flashlight at sleepovers and scaring my friends. I even had a scary-story themed birthdy party once, where we sat in the dark and my mom read some of the stories by flashlight and then passed around bowls of peeled grapes (eyeballs) and pasta (guts), even jell-o (brains). We had a lot of good screams that night!I would reccomend these stories to any kid, or to any parent to buy for their kid. They're terrifying, the illustrations are gruesome, but they fuel the imagination unlike any other kid-themed horror story I've ever read, and I read 'em all in my day. I found that the story "Harold" disturbed me the most, and every now and then my mind will wander to it and I'll shudder. There's something to be said for a story that still has the power to unsettle ten years after it's been read.
