What is the spookiest or creepiest story that's supposed to be for children and why?
@RickiTarr This is just straight-up nightmare fuel for children, and the illustrations make it all the worse.
@LouisIngenthron @RickiTarr Can confirm. I loaned it from the library when I was a kid and got so scared at one point I was crying. I returned the book to the library.
At age 48 I said 'it's time', and purchased a copy for my Kobo and read through the entire thing in one night. It's just as gory and graphic as I remember.

@darrenmorin @RickiTarr Did you know it's actually the first book in a trilogy?
@darrenmorin @RickiTarr The second two don't *quite* reach the horrible heights of the first, but they are certainly worthy successors.
@LouisIngenthron @RickiTarr I knew there was a second edition, not the 3rd.
