The terrifying tales and spine-chilling illustrations from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark have haunted the minds of generations of readers. Today we will palaver about the two amazing men who brought these stories to life. Alvin Schwartz, is the storyteller who collected and researched the various folktales from around the world. He compiled these tales into three separate children’s books that would not only be a massive success, but a heated topic of debate. The success of the books can simply not be discussed without talking about Stephen Gammell's horrific stringy art that captivated children and adults alike. Join your Palaver hosts as we contribute to the never-ending debate of fear of books vs. fear of censorship.
