(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam F. Watkins. This second browsable volume of horror poetry covers hungry giants, malicious fairies, a devil possession (on school picture day), nefarious neighbors, and more. With a variety of rhyme schemes, the poems stick to scary subject material, with occasional hints of humor to lighten the mood. Watkins's creepy pencil drawings recall Stephen Gammell's in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam F. Watkins. A collection of thirty scary poems is accompanied by truly spooky, atmospheric illustrations that, when combined, make for an unusual horror collection. The poems edge toward humor on occasion but mostly stick to frightening topics. The sameness of the format (poem on verso, illustration on recto) makes this a better choice for dipping into rather than reading through.
