OK, I am trying to get ahold of the original Scary Stories trilogy by Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammel.
The only difference I know is the artwork:

I would really like to find the original books/artwork...Thanks!

I loved these books when I was little- this is what got me started off on my love for scary books/movies/tv shows. I still remember some of the stories from the books, especially one where the dark is creeping over the ceiling and walls, and they always seem to come to mind when I'm in the dark trying to sleep. The pictures still scare me and I'm 26 now. I'd recommend these books for anyone who loves scary stories- get those kids started off early! And they'll scare adults too...

The stories you will find in these books are the most terrifying I have ever read. As I understand it, they originate from American Folklore. This, in addition to Gammell's truly disturbing artwork, adds the minute shot of realism that transforms harmless fiction to something that reads more like a short, historical, tale of warning. They are told in a simple, blunt manner, giving the reader the impression that they are hearing a historical account. As a kid I was addicted to horror, but these were the tales that led to literally months of sleepless nights. If you are buying them for a child with a vivid imagination, prepare his or her parents' for the ensuing insomnia.

This CD set is really a great find. I remember buying the original cassettes as a kid, after getting seriously scared by some of the creepiest stories I'd ever read. Combined with Stephen Gammell's hideous, yet thought provoking drawings, the books are bad/good enough themselves depending on your point of view! The only cons I have is that the collection doesn't contain *every* single story from the very first book. I remember the original recordings didn't either. So I give it a four and a half. Nevertheless, George S. Irving's way of changing his voice from highs to lows, from quavering old lady to screaming fiend complement this nightmarish trio of books perfectly. Even listening to the CD alone in the dark, all by yourself... one can't help but get a few chills down the spine. I highly recommend getting a copy of the books themselves and reading along. I'm almost 28 years old and I still get freaked out from time to time at the thought of these. I would say my two favorites out of the whole bunch are "Me-Tie-Doughty-Walker!" and also "Somebody Fell From Aloft." Those scared me the most. Great books for campfire stories!

I'm serious, when I was a kid I read these books and they scared me silly. The stories by themselves will set you on edge, but what I remember most is the illustrations. Even now just looking at the covers give me a little chill and makes me want to turn on all the lights I can find. THIS is the book that made me scared of the dark. Give it to your kids, pass on the trauma, for science, to keep psychiatrists in work, for America. If you don't like these books, the terrorists win!
