Loved the stories, especially "The Whistle" and "The Frightened Dog". I never forgot those 2 stories as they were imo the creepiest and most unsettling of the collection. Over the year, the book obviously was lost to time and movement. As an adult, I fondly remembered the book that so richly entertained a young boy back in the early 70s and I set out to somehow retrieve a copy. And along came Ebay, which made the retrieval possible. One day, I came across a copy of the exact pocketbook up for bid. Of course, I dived right in and bid an amount I was sure would secure the prized piece. Alas, I lost the bid no doubt to another boomer hell bent on finding a sliver of lost youth in that old publication. As luck would have it, another copy - this time a hardcover - surfaced once again on Ebay and THIS time I was a victor. A 1972 mint condition hardcover "Stangely Enough" appeared in my mailbox a few weeks later. I once again was able to enjoy the stories that so captivated me many decades earlier. The book still resides with me and will always be a piece of my humble home. A memory of a time long past, but still remembered. Such a wonderful little book.SJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259762935247590878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-78982964769020632702023-05-14T07:46:40.758-07:002023-05-14T07:46:40.758-07:00I owned a copy of this back when I was a kid.

No one at school had seen this book, but we were doing these sort of mini book reports where you actually read the book to the rest of the class. I still remember the kid, Bo, in my class brought this book in and we were all hooked. No one else had discovered that it was in our school library, tucked away somewhere, and we couldn't believe a book like that was in there. I think every one of my friends borrowed that book at one time or another from there on out that year, and we all gathered around it many times. I remember the kid that found it and did it for the book report right before it was Halloween so it was great timing. I think I went as a ghoul that year for Halloween.

Over A few years I had searched the entire library to find the whole series because for whatever reason the books weren't together. After reading them all I would read each one over and over again till I had memorized most of the stories. I actually like the newer illustrations of the book, maybe because those are the ones I saw first but I think the sane illustrations represent a certain sane insanity in the horror. Not that the older illustrations are bad though, I love them as well.Koalemoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497742001930067851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522536908521187955.post-83616561656819116562022-11-19T06:42:41.695-08:002022-11-19T06:42:41.695-08:00I just saw Switchin' Kitten for the first time...I just saw Switchin' Kitten for the first time (that I can remember) and was initially put off by the style and cheaper looking animation than the golden age of Tom and Jerry, but watched and then looked it up online to see where it came from.

(Like this book that I've never heard of....) I'm surprised how little info there is on the internet for old colouring/activity books like this. For example; I’ve been looking for info/copies/scans of some old monster colouring books from around 1979. They were sold as “Monster Colouring Books,” published by Talbotworth from Britain and were super-cheap. I went through a bunch when I was a kid. I still have two; “Swamp Monsters” and “Sea Monsters” and I know there are at least two more: “Flying” and “Space.” I’ve found no info on them over the years. If you have any information, or know anyone who does I’d be very appreciative.<br /><br />Don C.

I remember walking home one day from school during a storm and a huge branch fell right in front of me. I remembered that page at that moment. Minutes later a car pulled up and proceeded to follow me up the road. Everytime I stopped, the car stopped. This went on for what seemed a while. I could feel a real sense of panic. I eventually walked into a neighbours drive and hid behind a bush. Eventually the car moved off but I stayed behind that bush for a long time. I am grateful I read that book.
