scary stories more tales to chill your bones

I'm glad I have the full collection with the original drawings. Scary Stories 3 : More Tales to Chill Your Bones. It isn't the same outstanding series without the original art. The iconic anthology series of horror tales thats soon to be a highly anticipated feature film This is. My son remembers these books 17 years after we first read them because of Gammell's artwork. This series stands out because of the original artwork by Gammell. All the tales are middle-grade friendly.Īn excellent collection of scary stories! I will pass on the 30th Anniversary edition.

The artwork perfectly accompanies the creepy tales. As in the prior books, the stories vary, even including a bit of poetry and a song. There are notes about the stories and a list of sources in the back. Scary Stories 3 gathers 25 more stories from folklore. Not sure what the publisher was thinking! They are great.more of a literal interpretation of the just isn't Scary Stories without Stephen Gammell. I investigated online and found examples of Helquists illustrations. Luckily, I have older copies of this series with the weird art intact. While Brett Helquist is a talented artist, what made this book series really great was the strange art by Gammell. Imagine my horror when I found out (while I was re-reading the series) that when they reprinted the books as a 30th anniversary celebration, they changed the artwork. What he remembered the most was the creepy-cool artwork by Stephen Gammell.

He presented me with copies of the books as he was leaving to serve in the Navy. This series of children's horror stories was a favorite of my oldest son.
