TW: creepy doll, Ekbom's syndrome (insects living in skin), teeth horror
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.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE BOOKS!!! Ahem. This is the perfect series for 1) your young readers who are still on easy reader books but who are Very Brave and want an Actually Scary book OR 2) your readers who are old enough to be wanting to read books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but those books are still beyond their reading level. Although the books are written at an easy level, I still find them pretty terrifying. The illustrations are not as scary as Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but the stories have that same vibe - short, creepy, sometimes leaving the truly terrifying conclusion up to the reader and sometimes spelling it out.
Get these books if you have young fans of scary stories. Breed the next generation of horror readers. Do it. Do itttt.
