Book Description

Storytellers know -- just as they have for hundreds and hundreds of years -- that everyone enjoys a good, scary story!

Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories 3 joins his other popular collections of scary folklore, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark and More Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, to give readers spooky, funny and fantastic tales guaranteed to raise goose bumps.

Who is the Wolf girl? Why is a hearse filled with men with yellow glowing eyes? Can a nightmare become reality? How do you avoid an appointment with Death?

Stephen Gammell's splendidly creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozens scary stories -- and even a scary song -- all just right for reading along or for telling aloud in the dark..

Yet another excellent story in this series!.......2006-05-26

This is a reallllllllllllllly good book. Especially when Addie Fitch gets voodooed (ha, ha!). Well, but is the story "The Wolf Girl" true or not? It's hard to find out, but this is a really good ending of this series (well, except the only lunatic story is "No, Thanks").

"Harold".......2006-04-13

While it hardly needs to be said that Stephen Gammell's oft-lauded illustrations are absolutely, fantastically, wonderfully frightening, the actual *stories* in this series have never struck me as particularly scary. That said, however, the story "Harold" which appears in this volume is by far the scariest in the series and is, indeed, one of the creepiest tales I've ever read (and I can be quite difficult to scare!).

"Harold" alone is worth the price of this book--it's a very odd little gem which I'm surprised ended up here amongst the other not-particularly-scary stories typical of the series. (Incidentally, the illustrations in this volume are, perhaps, not *quite* as creepy as in the previous two--a response to parents' complaints, perhaps? If my conjecure is true, it makes "Harold"'s appearance all the more inexplicable.) Read and enjoy (and be scared)! :)

Great stories!.......2006-02-25

I have always been fascinated with all of Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories collection, ever since I was a child. Stephen Gammell's drawings are really creepy. I purchased these books to hopefully share with my students. BEWARE though, some young children become frightened with some of the drawings! For ages 9 and up!

illustrations!!.......2005-08-08

I read this book about 11 years ago in first grade, and I have to say that even though the stories weren't particularly frightening, Stephen Gammel's illustrations are still in my mind today. Especially that one of that dead lady's face. That always scared me. The other ones were only mildly horrifying.

Dennis Yin's review.......2005-06-30

The Scary Stories is a good book to read at night. My favorite story to read is Like Cat Eye's. A person will get ill at night. Then the wife calls a nurse. Late at night the wife goes to the next room. After she tries to go to sleep a car pulls up the drive way. The wife sees people that have cat eyes. If you want to know what happend next, read the book. Scary Stories also have more stories to read.

Scary.......2007-04-12

If you like scary stories, then you will like scary stories 3. It has stories like a girl raised by wolves, creatures that come out of a swamp at night,bottles tipping over and spilling, with no human help, items flying and crashing and many more stories. by Devin

Scary Stories 3.......2006-11-28

I like this book because all of the stories are scary and gory. The book is mainly about ghosts that come backfor revenge. I would recomend this book if you like scary stories. In this one story, this kid finds a toe and takes it home. Later, the kid eats it and the ghosts come and kill him. This is the best book ever.
