It’s hard for me to think of a book, perhaps other than Ender’s Game or the Lone Wolf series, that influenced my budding love for books than Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Much of that is credited to the illustrator for the ghostly tales series, Stephen Gammell. Anyone who has seen his work for the book understands the fright and creeps came largely from his obscene (and often dripping) art.

I’m sharing some of his artwork with you all in case it inspires any creepy-crawlies that might be slinking around in your head, hoping his work can unlock whatever cage it’s in.
