Writer's Block: Timeless Tales

[Error: unknown template qotd]

It was probably Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, by Alvin Schwartz--along with the two sequels. That, and the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine--specifically, the series of books that dealt with an evil spirit killing cheerleaders in various ways. I vividly remember one death by hot shower.

Another favorite was The Last Vampire series of novels by Christopher Pike, as well as quite a few Choose Your Own Adventure books. I normally ended up possessed or dead in my endings, though. Or turned into a vampire. Those were my favorite endings.

Some kids liked Cinderella, I liked The Hearse Song. What can I say?
