Editorial reviews
These particular tales from Favorite Scary Stories of American Children were selected for their appropriateness for listeners in grades 4-6. The tales include "Old Raw Head", "Ghost of Vengeance", and "Spirit of Fire". The folkloric stories have been culled from around the world, and have been especially influenced by Asian culture, though listeners will hear the Ozarks in this collection as well.
Richard Young and Judy Dockrey Young have been married since 1982 and they have both made a career out of telling stories. They frequent schools and professional storytelling events, and they even perform regularly at Silver Dollar City theme park in their home state of Missouri. In these scary stories, husband and wife alternate narration.
