(3) 4-6 Illustrated by E. M. Gist. This collection of twenty-two short stories, mostly from Europe and Asia, offers a wide variety of chills and thrills for middle-grade readers. Most of the tales end with a scary, and occasionally surprising, twist, but there's nothing that's too upsetting. Black-and-white illustrations in many of the stories enhance their spookiness. Sources are included.
