Slache Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Maybe 3rd through 5th grade level? Ish? I'm not picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Check out this past thread: "Scary or funny books at a 2nd grade reading level" -- suggestions for up through 5th grade level. A couple of other out-of-print but worth looking for books are from the fairytale/folktale series by Ruth Manning Sanders and illustrated by Robin Jacques. Each book has 12-15 tales, all based around the title creature. The "spooky" story collections include:A Book of WitchesA Book of Ghosts and GoblinsA Book of Demons and DevilsA Book of Spooks and SpectresA Book of Monsters A bit more scary:Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark -- and sequel volumes13 Scary Ghost StoriesFavorite Scary Stories of American ChildrenTales of Mystery, Suspense and Supernatural Edited August 31, 2018 by Lori D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I was going to share the last one listed by Lori. https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Mystery-Suspense-Supernatural-Ready-/dp/0876289081/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329173307&sr=8-1 I own that one and it definitely has some scary ones for that age group. I have tossed the idea around in my head of doing many of them with my youngest next yr. She is so unlike her sisters. Her absolute favorite books right now are the Redwall books. Instead of being scared or grossed out by many of the scenes, they are thrillers. (definitely more like her older brothers. Her sisters would have asked for stories like fairy tales or Secret Garden for bedtime stories.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 One of my sons around that age adored Tales for the Midnight Hour as well as More Tales for the Midnight Hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
