Poe and Bierce are kinda scary in a twisted way. The others are more action adventure type books. Most of them I have read within the last year.

What classics can you recommend that would fall into the category of scary, suspenseful, or action packed?

 

Thanks!

 

Coraline, hands down the scariest/creepiest book we ever read aloud.

 

The Matchlock Gun has scary/dangerfilled moments, too (bad guys get shot, Mom gets knifed, I think).
