It was eleven o'clock at night.  Peter was in bed on the second floor of the old house where he lived alone.  It had gotten so chilly, he went downstairs to turn up the heat.

As Peter was on his way back to bed, a black dog ran down the stairs.  "Where did you come from?" Peter said.  He had never seen the dog before....


Welcome to  the macabre world of Scary Stories, a collection of folklorist Alvin Schwartz's most alrming tales of horror, dark revenge, and supernatural events of all time, with spine-tingling illustrations by renowned artist Bret Helquist.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
