Plot Summary: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and its follow-ups are all about ghosts and urban legends and things that go bump in the night. They are designed to be read aloud, in the dark, to your friends at a campfire...just before you try to go to sleep!
Complaints: Violence, unsuited to age group, occult themes.
A complaint from the school district in Campbell County, Wyo., said the books made kids believe "ghosts are actually possible." Another said, children shouldn't be "scared by materials they read in school."
Solonor Says Ban It Because: They're..um...scary...
