The August House Book of Scary Stories (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780874839159)

Scary stories: everybody loves to hear them, and everybody loves to tell them. They are popular for sharing in many settings--campouts, sleepovers, classroom or youth-group gatherings--as well as just plain fun to read. Selected especially for appeal to upper-elementary and middle-school students, each story has been crafted through multiple performances in school and library settings. Stories include traditional folktales, local legends, and original stories; some have historical settings and some are set in current times. All are sure to engage the most reluctant reader.
