Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark LitJoy Edition

This item is a preorder, and is estimated to ship October 2026

The stories that terrified you as a child are waiting for you in the dark once again.

You remember them. The stories you couldn't forget, even when you desperately wanted to. The ghost stories whispered at sleepovers. The terrifying tales you dared your friends to read aloud. The pages you turned just a little faster because you knew something horrifying was waiting for you and the illustrations you couldn't look at for too long, but couldn't stop looking at either.

Now, the Scary Stories collection that haunted your childhood is back in one unforgettable omnibus.

For generations, Alvin Schwartz's terrifying tales of ghosts, monsters, revenge, and things that go bump in the night have kept readers awake long after the lights went out. Collected from folklore and urban legends, these stories are filled with wandering spirits, vengeful ghosts, haunted houses, skeletons, strange creatures, and nightmares that have lingered in readers' imaginations for decades.

And, of course, the illustrations that helped make these stories impossible to forget are still here.

Stephen Gammell's original haunting artwork returns to bring the nightmares to life, with the same twisted, eerie images that made you want to slam the book shut as a child and immediately open it again. Now joined by new terrifying pieces, this collection is ready to haunt a whole new generation of readers.

Revisit the stories that once made you sleep with the lights on. Rediscover the illustrations that still send a shiver down your spine. Then, if you're brave enough, pass the book along to the next generation and watch as they discover the same terrifying tales you could never quite forget.

Some childhood nightmares never really leave you.

They just wait for you to open the book again.

If you dare.
