I remember these books as a kid. My parents always hated them because of the pictures being to horrible. Now the new versions have toned down pictures and are not as good. These books are the originals, and are hard to find , even harder to find brand new. Better get them before they are gone!

Be warned book collectors, these are not original, authentic copies of these books. They are print-on-demand copies that are smaller than the originals with thin pages and iffy print quality here and there. I don't know if they are bootleg copies or not (I suspect that they are), but if you are a collector looking for the original printings from Harper Collins that we all loved in the 80s, keep looking. If you just want a set to remember the stories and brilliant original illustrations to share with your kids, these would be fine.

I was very pleased with my purchase. It was exactly what I expected and it came in a timely manner, plus it had the original artwork. I remember being freaked out by Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark when I was little, so when my 8 year old son came home from school talking about these scary books with spooky pictures I knew exactly what he was talking about. I just had to order them for him right away. The artwork is just as scary as I remember it. Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark.....scaring the crap out of kids since 1981 lol.

Ordered these books because I remember how much I loved reading them in elementary school. They arrived quickly and were sealed and brand new. Passed on these books to my 6 year old niece, she loves them as much as I did.

There are very few types of books I like to collect, this series is one of them. Since my elementary school days I have been trying to collect them. Now I have them and they will make excellent reading time for me and my kids as they get older. I can't wait to take them camping for marshmallows and hotdogs later on over the summer!!

I got these books just in time for Halloween. I personally believe that the original illustrations is what made these books the best scary story books for young kids. It just adds to the thrill of reading these books by flash light. My kids couldn’t believe how great they were and couldn’t put them down till they finished all 3 books in one sitting.

Out of all scary media I have observed in my whole life, these books still hold the top position for being the most horrific, haunting and lasting horror media Ive seen as far as books go. Unique and powerful art, classic folk inspired and strong stories. A true masterpiece.

Once I heard they had replaced some of the old art with new soft images I just had to purchase these. I have read these books ever since I was in elementary school; I am in college now. It has been years, and I still feel chills go up my spine with some of these stories.

Been trying to hunt down these books with the original covers to add to my library. Glad I was able to get them in great quality and in a pretty decent amount of time.

The books are in great condition. Brand new as far as I can tell, but this seems like a batch where all the covers were attached askew. You can tell from the pictures if you look closely. Still great for the price!
