![]() ![]() Think Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark in comic form.Īfter students ask me for another one like Into the Woods, I naturally go to a book by the same artist, although this one has a different look. ![]() The whole design of the book has a frantic look, again to build a feeling of dread.

Each story will leave readers with chills and dread. Then he shares the stories that have made him afraid. The book opens with an introduction about a boy who reads, but is afraid of the dark. And while this isn’t the most popular title in my collection, I’d say it’s one of my oft requested: “Do you have more like it?” titles. With comics, I didn’t often have that request for more like it, until I ordered Emily Carroll’s Through the Woods. But I have learned to keep my eyes out on titles that are… well… scary. ![]() This isn’t one of my favorite genres, so I do struggle a bit. One of the most popular genre requests in my library has always been for a scary story. ![]()
