Don't Read This Book Before Bed: Thrills, Chills, and Hauntingly True Stories

I bought this book for a 10 year old 5th grader who HATES reading. She loves spooky and creepy things but doesn’t really care for fiction very often. I thought she might like this for her required reading time as it has many short, but informative, passages about various creepy things, such as a doll that supposedly comes to life, some “haunted” castles and some people who may have had premonitions about the Titanic.I was pleasantly surprised when she told me she finished it in one go as she didn’t want to stop reading. She then excitedly told me about what she read and what she already knew as well as things she wanted to know about, all unprompted! I highly recommend this book for reluctant readers who are into spooky and creepy things

My 11 year old son has been reading this before bed. He comes in my room and tries to prolong bed time by telling me everything he’s learned. It’s a neat book and keeps him entertained!

My 9 year old who loves spooky stuff and scary stories has been really enjoying this

How to get kids who don’t like to read… reading before bed? Give them this book LOL

Grand-kids like this one on the coffee table. A book they can pick up and read for a short while and then put it down. They kept coming back.

My 7 year old stepdaughter loves this book. It is a good and informative collection of creepy stories, fables, and facts. Highly recommend.

My 6 year old LOVES this book. It’s great to get kids interested in creepy legends, but adults should offer a dose of critical thought and skepticism to counter the “woo” raised in this book. Many of the legends, ghost lights for example, already have good explanations which are not given enough mention in favor of more dramatic, fat-fetched explanations. I give it 5 stars because the content is well done and interesting. It think this book best read with a skeptical adult who can help the kid think through the claims, do their own research and come to the best conclusions.

My 9yo loves this book! It isn’t super scary. It has a lot of very interesting facts and he loves reading it!

Kids loved this. Will buy another

This book is written with lots of scary and creepy facts great if you want to be creeped out,leave the lights on,

I bought this for my 13 Yr old nephew.He enjoyed reading it and I couldn't resist ,full of eerie facts and stories. Even though its aimed at kids would be a great coffee table book to dip in and out of.

Excellent book, I brought this to read to my kids and nephews. (They loves me reading it with them) my husband has read it and now my Dad and brother want to borrow it.Good read for all ages

Very good book for those older kids interested in mystery & the macabre.
