I've been reading Scary Stories Treasury by Alvin Schwartz. It's a combination of 3 books in the series he wrote. It's just a bunch of short scary stories. Many of them are well-known, but most of them I've never seen anywhere else. I picked this book because I remember back in first grade this book was in the school library and we all wanted to take it because it has the creepiest pictures I've ever seen. Still to this day, they are really disturbing, and it's surprising that it was in an elementary school library. I actually heard that there was some sort of lawsuit and they re-released the books with different pictures.

 For example:                                                                          

But anyway, the stories themselves are written in a very childish way. It's really easy to read. In fact, the main reason I chose it was just for sort of a nostalgic thing. Most of the stories aren't even that creepy, with the exception of some of the ones with really creepy endings. The book makes ghosts just walk into a room like it's nothing in some stories, while in others it won't explain a thing. In one story, a girl hears her roommate singing but then finds her decapitated body. That's it. But for some reason, this is one of the most unnerving stories there is.

Now the period's about to end so I'm ending this post. Sorry it's late yall
