A collection of short horror stories for kids. My favorite is 'The furry collar'. A guaranteed pants soiler! ( )

Tales for the Midnight Hour contain simple, yet hauntingly horrifying tales that reach in and grab something inside you. ( )

Ugh! Stupid stupid stupid. I'm sorry, but stupid.
NONE of these stories were scary in the least, and many of them were laughably stupid. The way they were written didn't even lend them to being scary even if the plot were different; no scary buildup, no edge-of-your-seat wording that makes you bite your lip even though you know it's just a book, nothing. The majority of the story would be boring backstory and yawn-worthy "buildup", and then wham-bam "scary part" and that's it. A few of these stories, I doubt most kids would even call the subject-matter "scary". I'm usually really open to a good horror-story, even if it's written for kids, so to have this kind of reaction, I know it *really* wasn't good. ( )

This was one of my favorites to take to sleepovers and read to my friends. Some great memories! I loved reading with the flashlight in my face, all spookly like. It is fun to be a kid. ( )
