Tales to Tell in the Dark

Tomorrow is Halloween, which means candy (my fave? Reeses) and scaring the pants off one another. If you're tired of the same ol' stories (the call was coming from inside the house!) check out the following books. They're filled with short stories perfect for re-telling. When you scare your friends, be sure to substitute in real names and local places...it makes the tale that much spookier. Have fun!
