Terrifying and appealing all at once.<br /><br />Atom Kid: Apparently the editor, Roger Elwood, put out a couple other books with very simliar covers and names... I believe there were four in all. Perhaps this is what you remember.<br /><br />K. Forest: I'm not familiar with "Scary Stories" but it sounds pretty cool. I've always believed that good books are good books, regardless of the audience for whom they're written.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-20655309999280486972009-07-21T18:43:12.633-04:002009-07-21T18:43:12.633-04:00Looks like a great book, and I may have to track d...Looks like a great book, and I may have to track down a copy. I had a similar experience (as an elementary kid in the '80s) with Julek Heller's 'GIANTS' -- for years the images would come back to me, but I had no idea what book I'd seen them in until I did some Google research like you.<br /><br />Alvin Schwartz's 'Scary Stories' trilogy fills the same niche for my generation that 'Monster Tales' must have filled for yours. As adults my friends are still creeped out by Stephen Gammell's eerie and gruesome illustrations.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285645317925993821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-8391758060754878692009-07-21T11:31:39.767-04:002009-07-21T11:31:39.767-04:00I haven't read this one, but I've read a w...I haven't read this one, but I've read a werewolf anthology with very similar artwork on the cover. I wish I could remember it. It was something like "Monsters Walk Among Us" or something like that.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-40352292933300218042009-07-21T10:40:31.285-04:002009-07-21T10:40:31.285-04:00Talk about a blast from the past!
