One of these days I'm going to force myself to read a GN...it's just a genre I have trouble getting into. I think it's great that they have such a strong audience though! :)Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452671728520979706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450480348169676057.post-27128797410773750932008-10-31T13:28:00.000-06:002008-10-31T13:28:00.000-06:00I read Dollhouse Murders as an adult and was serio...I read Dollhouse Murders as an adult and was seriously disturbed! <BR/><BR/>Coraline's awesome.

The dolls moved around at night by themselves and the characters have to solve a murder mystery. Ahhh! Still creepy. A recent children's book that I find really scary as an adult, is Neil Gaiman's "Coraline". I just found out that it is been made into a stop action animated movie coming out next year. I can't wait!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452671728520979706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450480348169676057.post-14827761103577392512008-10-31T10:12:00.000-06:002008-10-31T10:12:00.000-06:00I used to read a collection of stories called "Sca...I used to read a collection of stories called "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" by Alvin Schwartz. They were very short tales of different haunting events and situations that were very creepy, but always fun to read. It might involve a ghost who thought they were still alive or a spider egg sack that hatched out of a girl's cheek! The writer, though, found the best way to make the stories appropriate for the younger crowd, which I've always found amazing. Happy Halloween!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843854603122275540noreply@blogger.com
