I'm often being asked for very scary books, but the ones doing the asking are sometimes 5-7 years old. This is perfect fare for them. It's a little bit creepy, but not too bad for young children.

I think it was the timing, but made my stomach turn on the "hair" story. Otherwise, perfect for Halloween or kids that like scary stories.

TW: creepy doll/puppet, swallowing hair

This horror series took me right back to the days I shivered while reading "A Dark Dark Room" by Alvin Schwarz. Perfectly terrifying for young readers, but always including some silly ideas too.
