As thanks for putting up with my depression last month, Iâve chosen to do recaps focusing on some of my favorite books which means another short break from the chronological order. I just wish I had some commissions to add to this one.
âTales Too Scaryâ is special in the Graveyard School series because itâs the only entry thatâs an anthology of stories. Unlike the âTales To Give You Goosebumpsâ books, this one has a framing story encompassing the first and last chapters, and a features an eclectic grouping of the GS cast including my favorite, Jordie âThe Human Computerâ Flanders. The situationâs a cross between âHansel and Gretelâ and â1001 Arabian Nightsâ which of course captured my interest right away.
One of the stories is interesting because itâs told in three parts by three different storytellers.
You wanna believe I began the draft for this last year after I was officially made a recapper by Wing? I couldnât wait to share this with all of you.
Also, I simply had to include the Lithuanian adaptionâs cover artwork because I canât tell if itâs horrible or amazing.
As a headâs up Wing, there IS a story with bugs, but it doesnât include spiders.
[Wing: Thanks for the headâs up. I personally adore the Lithuanian cover, though that doesnât really answer the whole horrible or amazing question, because either, both, whatever, I would still adore it.]
