Best Horror

Goosebumps- Huge seller, very popular in the 90's and still somewhat today.


Tales of Terror


Scary stories to Tell in the Dark (Schwartz) - very popular 20ish years ago, still popular today.  This is the one with the really creepy artwork and the stories are actually kinda gruesome for their age range (4th grade I believe).  It was listed by ALA as one of the most popular banned books.

Monster of the Year (Bruce Coville) - The book that got me into heavy reading, great message on censorship, but a little preachy.

Bunnicula (Howe) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnicula

Baily School Kids (Jones) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_School_Kids

Are you Afraid of the Dark? (book series inspired by the show)
