More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' was a children's book of scary stories. It contained creepy illustrations and was highly entertaining. Unfortunately, it was banned in several schools because one student's grandmother complained that the stories featured murder, death, and cannibalism, among other things.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has funny and scary parts in it.

I know there is 3. I read all of them. One with a clown head, i think one with a house, and one with a witch. Not sure about the covers, but I'm positive there are three books to the series.

I have read all of them. Sadly, I do not think it is. Sorry about that
It wuznt banned. I have seen it in the library of every school that i have been to. While the previous person may have seen Scary Stories in their local library, others may not be able to. Depending upon the library and district, this book is often pulled from circulation because it is seen as too scary or as one complaint in Michigan stated "too disgusting" for children to read. To find out why the book Scary Stories is no longer available, you need to politely ask the librarian. She/he may be able to tell you why. Remember, the librarian was not responsible for this so be polite. But it is likely because the district school board had to because of complaints.
It is a phrase repeated by a ghost in a story which is part of the compilation Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
For adults: the short stories of Clive Barker are some of my personal favorites. Try Books of Blood, Volumes 1 and 2.For kids: when I was growing up, my favorite scary stories books were the Scary Stories books by Alvin Schwartz, illustrated by Stephen Gammell. There are three of them, plus the anthology: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones, and The Scary Stories Treasury: Three Books to Chill Your Bones.I also loved the Tales for the Midnight Hour books by J.B. (Judith Bauer) Stamper: Tales for the Midnight Hour, More Tales for the Midnight Hour, Still More Tales for the Midnight Hour, and Even More Tales for the Midnight Hour.
