About this listen
Parents are sometimes concerned that violence or gore in scary stories will be bad for children. This is not so; they provide hope through happy endings, and offer the child both positive and negative examples of behavior. With their imaginary violence, scary stories teach moral principles, good social behavior, courage, heroism, and hope.
The stories is in this collection include: "Old Raw Head", "Frozen Charlotte", "Mary Calhoun", "Blood in the Root Cellar", "Old Walleyes", "Pennywinkle!", and "Vanishing Rider."
For Adults and Young Adults
©1992 Richard Alan Young and Judy Dockrey Young (P)1992 August House Publishers, Inc.Editorial reviews
For those who love to feel their blood run cold, these ghost stories should be fulfilling. Of the seven tales, alternately told by Richard and Judy Young, "Frozen Charlotte" and "Pennywhistle!" are the most successful, the most chilling and the most regional. Some stories depend greatly on the blood and gore aspects of scary tales, as in "Old Raw Head" and "Blood in the Root Cellar." Both storytellers have clear, sinister tones which serve their stories well; Judy Young's slightly nasal tones evoke a frostier feeling. In all, the mix of chillers and gore should provide something for almost everyone aged 8 to 12.
Critic Reviews
"The Youngs' stories accurately reflect the culture they are derived from and offer the hearer a vivid picture of that culture." (Teresa Pijoan, Storyteller)
