(4) 4-6 Michael Dahl's Really Scary Stories series. Illustrated by Xavier Bonet. These hi-lo books each contain six very short stories featuring commonplace situations with twist endings. Some narratives suggest the supernatural, others veer sharply into gross-out horror. The texts are choppy but accessible; some entries end too abruptly. Each book includes one introductory black-and-white illustration and concludes with notes on the stories' origins, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos. Review covers these Michael Dahl's Really Scary Stories titles: The Girl in the Graveyard and Other Scary Tales and Shadow Shoes and Other Scary Tales.
