The Scary Story Reader

Title: The Scary Story Reader

Author: Richard Young

Summary: This book is a compilation of scary stories that have persisted almost to the point of legend. There are some introductions and explanations to give further depth to the stories. The stories are those that have been circulating since the 50's to the 90's.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book as a small resource of scary or interesting stories. More importantly, the near legends shared in the book help to show us how are ideals have been in our culture and as other cultures have merged. This gives us an interesting look into the anthropology of our own recent culture through stories. I would also recommend this to anyone who wants a brief and artistic glimpse into recent history.
