This collection of short stories held me. I especially enjoyed The Neighbor and The Tall Ones. I recommend this book for kids and adults alike.
What an excellent tribute to Schwartz!
Final note, LOVE Adam Verners narration. Kinda wish he would have read the entire book.
Great even for "big kids"!

Narration – 5/5
“Don’t Turn Off the Lights” edited by Jonathan Mayberry is “A Tribute to Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” as told by a number of select authors of Horror.
The stories are all pretty good, but you have to remember that these are intended for Middle Graders, so nothing really heavy. A few of the stories and one poem gave even me a creepy feeling, though.
It’s nice to see that these authors can write a story that depends on plot and atmosphere, and not entirely on the gag factor.
Recommendation – it’s a fun read and if you can see still through the eyes of a child, then you might like this.
A Nice Change From the Heavier Stuff
