Full Text Reviews:

School Library Journal - 11/01/1991 Gr 3-5--Scary Stories 3 is here! And it was worth the wait. Schwartz has once again created a crowd pleaser with these 25 short stories that include everything from confronting death to jump tales. There are six major categories of gore with one to eight concise tales in each to delight horror lovers. The selections are straightforward and to the point, allowing readers to put their imaginative skills to full use. The book is well paced and continually captivates, surprises, and entices audiences into reading just one more page. Gammell's gauzy, cobwebby, black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings help to sustain the overall creepy mood. To complete the picture, source notes explain the origins of each story; a comprehensive bibliography includes materials for adults and children. This will be a well-used addition to all collections. Children who have read and reread and reread Schwartz's other books will appreciate this new offering. Teachers will use it in their classrooms as a read-aloud. Storytellers will make these tales part of their repertoires. Definitely a first-purchase consideration. --Molly Kinney, formerly at Miami Dade Public Library System, Miami, FL - Copyright 1991 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
