Product Description:
What is real and what is imaginary? Do evil creatures lurk in the shadows? Do demons attack the helpless? Are there such things as invisible men? For generations, storytellers have given substance to our worst fears. In Ask the Bones, master storytellers Arielle North Olson and Howard Schwartz retell a varied selection of the world's most frightening folktales. Be warned-these stories could scare you to death!
Illustrated by David Linn.
"These twenty-two stories provide a wide variety of supernatural happenings that won't disappoint the young horror acolyte." (The Horn Book, starred review)

- Ask the BonesAsk the Bones is a combination of many stories from around the World. Some of the stories I like for example are Ask the Bones from the Caucasus Region, Nowhere to Hide from Russia, The Black Snake from Persia, And the Invisible Guest from Germany. Each of the stories in the book are about 7 pages long. These stories are some of the scariest I've ever read. Trust me I read lots of scary stories. I liked this book over all and would give it 4 stars. The only thing I would improve would be more stories ... Read More

- Kinda BoringMy school librarian read us stories from this book in library time. I didn't really like it, it was kind of boring. I like the scary stories series from Alvin Schwartz. There were only like two or three stories in this book that I remotly liked, but other than that, these books are a bit flat. I don't reccomend this book.That is really all I have to say about that.
P.S. The Scary Story series are awesome!!

- Next-To-KinThe book Ask The Bones retold by Arielle North Olson and Howard Schwart, is a great book. This book has many stories from around the world but my favorite one is called " Next- To- Kin." This story is about this boy's aunt that is very jealous if someone goes near her husband and she has a forked tongue. She can also turn into a snake but the boy does not know this. Once the aunt grabbed the boy in jealousy and stuck her fingernails in his skin. The boy went to the old man so he could heal the wound. The old ... Read More

- The scariest stories that kids readI think this book is good for kids that can handle very scary stories. If you do not like to read scary stories, do not read this book at all. I think that the grownups would like the story called, "The Handkerchief." I think grownups would like it because it is very scary, and I think that's what you grownups like. I think this book is appropriate for 7 to 13 year olds. I think that because I have just begun to read it this year, and I'm sure I would have liked it last year. I'm eight right now. Even though ...
