Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

After seeing Pedestrian's new avatar, I remembered I wanted to make a topic about these. We all know the books. If you don't, you're a disgrace. The stories were normally not all that scary, sometimes they were, but not too much so. But then there was Gammell's terrifying illustrations. I remember having a hard time looking at some of them as a kid, which of course meant that I loved them.

Well, they've been replaced. They are no longer around. The prices for the books containing Gammell's illustrations have skyrocketed. Our childhoods have been raped. It's a travesty. Luckily I have the treasury book which contains all the stories in one hardback book, as well as the boxed set. Here's some before and afters of the originals and the new ones.
