Even More Short & Shivery: Thirty Spine-Tingling Tales

In 1998 I was in kindergarten. Our teacher took us to the Scholastic book fair and I saw this book. My teacher wouldn't let me get it because she said it was too scary. Later that day my mother bought the book for me and I absolutely treasured it, I kept it for nearly two decades until it finally met its end at the teeth of a family dog. I bought another copy thinking that it would be the same book and, by and large, it was. However several stories have been removed including "The Mouse Tower" and "Loft the Enchanter" both of which were great favorites. If you buy this book hoping to relive childhood nostalgia, you may ne disappointed. If, however, you are new to this book and therefore have no memories of some of the omitted stories, you will enjoy it very much. For young readers the stories will be creepy and it will introduce them to several macabre classics from folk lore around the world. A good book- just not the one I loved as a child.

I used to read the Short and Shiverys when I was younger. I’ve been trying to find and re-read all of my childhood favorites, and was super psyched to find these on kindle. These are still awesome, stories are easy to read but still remain spoopy, and I enjoyed them immensely as a 30 year old lady.

Great collection of stories. They still hold up after all these years. Great for spooky vibes. I like to read these at least once a year.

Good reading.

Fun stories

Great stories

This book arrived on time and undamaged. I ordered it to read to my six year old who loves ghost stories.The stories are pretty good, but she doesnt quite get them. I will save it for her for when shes a bit older.

Fun spooky book to read for early and beginning readers. The short stories keep their attention and are great to read at this time of year.
