I expected much
better. Schwartz is very well known for his Scary Stories Collection, but I am
not sure why they are so popular. I realize they are written for younger
children, however often I felt he would get to the climax of story and it would
just end. “And the dead man walked down the stairs…” The End…WHAT?? You can’t
even tell it’s the end except the next story begins. There were a few good stories, but they were
funny rather than even the slightest bit scary. Schwartz does include some
great campfire and other haunted games and I thought those were the only
worthwhile stories. I much preferred
Neil Gaiman’s audio book collection, which were more unique weird adventures
than scary.
