Beware! : R.L. Stine Picks His Favorite Scary Stories

Rating:
Summary: REALLY GOOD BOOK
Review: I first began reading R.L. Stine's works when I was about 8 years old and, quite frankly, they scared the [poo] out of me. However, I couldn't stop reading those delicously macabre works of childrens literature. I vowed from the moment I read his first book that I would become a writer, and I am currently working up to that dream. I have also never failed to read a work by this amazing author, even as I surpassed the targeted age group. However, I still enjoy his books immensely! He is still one of the most intriguing authors ever even among my new favorites (King, Koonts, Barker, etc...). This book is not just for children, in fact, I would not reccomend half of the stories in it for children. They're often sinister, wicked, and tastefully morbid. I reccomend this book to the advanced child all the way up to the elderly adult. It is truly a work of genious, even though all of the tales are not written by Stine himself.

Summary: A Wickedly Delicious Brew
Review: On the threshold of R.L. Stine's favorite holiday, Halloween, he's come out with a wonderful new book that is like a witches brew with multiple ingredients. The main ingredient in BEWARE is 'scary'. Added to the mix of scary stories, are some funny ones, tantalizing poems, a horror-comic, spooky illustrations, and like a cherry-on-top of an ice cream sundae, are R.L. Stine's intriguing introductions. I really liked reading an assortment of thrilling stories, R.L. Stine's favorites by different authors,the two he wrote himself, and two he retold. The scary ones definitely gave me chills. I now have a new appreciation for rats, ferris wheels, halloween costumes, elevators, witches, ghosts, and all kinds of creatures that can surface from one's imagination. Everyone will have their own favorites...Another cool thing are the spiders and cobwebs that trickle down each page while you read...This is a great book for both children and adults who like twists and thrills.
