Sexed Up Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by The Professor

When Alvin Schwartz presented his iconic collection of traditional tales and urban legends we all know and love, he found a perfect way of mixing the simple, the subtle and the subliminal in his style, allowing for the pieces to be read by all ages on a number of levels. And of course in Stephen Gammell he found an illustrator who took everything to a different level, creating some of the most haunting, suggestive, sinister, surreal imagery mainstream books have ever seen.

The Professor has been toying with a number of these tales and has crafted a set of exquisite drabbles in response - a whole range from gross to violent to erotic to chilling to ridiculous!

All the ‘favourites’ are included - the scarecrow, the strange pet, the babysitter, the Slithery-Dee, the spider bite, the terrifying pillow faced woman from the dream, the toe, the voice coming up the stairs, the terrifying figure offering the knife...

Of course there is a core of dark sex in every story!
