Not only were the stories scary, but the pictures were horrifying. To this day, they scare the crap out of me. My niece got a hold of one of them recently because I left it in a box of stuff I said she could have, not realizing it was in there among the toys. She told me the pictures scared her and I was like, "Oh my god! That book scared the crap out of me when I was a kid! Why did you look at it????" And she was like, "I don't know! I just did! It was so scary!" And then was laughed about it. Kids, huh? XD Oh god. I loved those books, but I always thought the pictures were way scarier than the stories. I liked telling some of the stories to the kids I would babysit as a teenager. It would scare the hell out of them. Looking back on it, I was kind of a mean babysitter.
