So scary stories have this magical power to get kids excited about reading. Plus scary stories help children deal with fear. Figuring out fear is a very important part of growing up and living in this scary, wonderful world. Sometimes fear is good. Fear good. It can help keep us safe. Other times fear is bad. Fear bad. We worry about silly things that keep us from enjoying life. We need to learn to separate the good fear from the bad fear, and scary stories can help us do that.
