The narration was so engaging—it pulled us right into each spooky little tale! I listened with my 13-year-old, and we both loved it. It was such a fun way to bond during car rides.

This book delivers bite-sized chills perfect for younger readers venturing into the world of horror. With haunted objects, cursed places, and eerie creatures, each tale is packed with classic spooky themes that evoke the nostalgic vibe of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

It's a great read-aloud option for parents and kids who enjoy mild scares without diving too deep into intense horror. With a few tweaks and maybe some illustrations, this collection could really shine. For now, it’s a fun, fast-paced entry point for young horror fans looking for a thrill before bedtime.

20 Spooky Short Stories

This book is full of 20 short stories that focus on being "scary". The stories are all different with some being ghosts and other scary themes. It was a great read and I liked to read one a night before bed.

Creeped me out—in a good way

I listened to a few of these while folding laundry at night (not the best idea, by the way), and one story about a girl hearing scratching behind her bedroom mirror really got under my skin. I ended up sharing that one with my son, who’s into horror, and he asked to listen to another right after—it totally hooked him. I liked that the stories were short but still packed a punch. It was fun to get a little spooked without committing to a whole novel.
