Obviously a play on the children's book series SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, Stephen Jones has collected some classic works of ghost and monster horror from well-known names (Stephen King and Neil Gaiman among them) and combined them with new works specifically for this collection. In addition, each story is effectively twice-illustrated by Randy Broecker.
Unlike the SCARY STORIES collection, these stories aren't really meant to be read aloud around a campfire. It would be difficult, for example, to read King's "Here There Be Tygers" (King readers might remember this one from one of his own 1980s short story collections) aloud with the same end-of-story jump-scare that many of the SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK tales are intended to have. For that reason, this obvious adult homage to the SCARY STORIES series is badly titled.
That said, it's a great collection and a highly recommended read, especially for those who might not already be familiar with Gaiman, King, Ramsey Campbell, or Charles L. Grant. ( )
