Scary Funnies. Issue 1. The Terrible Barbershop

The collection “Scary Stories” by the popular children’s writer Tatyana Rik is sure to please readers of any age. These short stories are either delightfully spooky or deliberately silly and funny—children love to invent them and retell them to one another.

“Just how scary it can be in the dark sometimes! First you think the curtain has moved, then the shelf gives a threatening creak. What if the robe on the chair comes to life right now? But there’s an excellent remedy for fear—LAUGHTER! I often meet with readers, and the kids say about these tales, ‘These aren’t scary stories at all—they’re kind of silly ones!’ And one boy remarked, ‘These are the kindest scary stories I’ve ever heard!’ I hope you’ll find them interesting, a little bit scary, and above all—fun!” Yours, Tatyana Rik
