And here are some books that are spooky and creepy enough to raise the hairs on the back of anyone’s neck. The things in these books don’t jump out at you and there’s not a lot of blood and guts but they will creep you out. You have been warned. . .
This first one is a little less scary than the rest. If your child is ready for a not-too-scary creepy book you might want to start here. They get spookier the farther down the list you go.
