The one on the left is too scary

More like what the fuck was Stephen Gammell thinking.
>oh ho ho let me just pour my abstract nightmare subconscious out on the page, surely this is appropriate for a children's book, just a few more whispy splotch-tendrils and dripping rotted flesh, ready for the school library yes indeed
I keep expecting them to reveal that he worked on these right after his wife died in a car crash or something

Nigga the stories included shit like
>a spider laying eggs in a girl's face
>a man and his wife eating a fucking toe
>a scarecrow ripping a man's skin off and laying it out to dry on the roof
What do you want? The pictures enhance the tone set by the stories. There's a reason the use the old art instead of that goofy new shit in the movie

This one scared the hell out of me when I was young
I used to picture him on my roof in the autumn when coming home alone

He is Swedish

The wolf girl story unironically woke something inside of me. I read that shit in third or second grade. 20 years later I have a disgusting TF fetish

>he keeps switching on his high beams
>each time she tries to lose him she looks back and sees the high beams
>gets to her house and runs inside screaming to call the police!
>the man is looking around her car with a gun
>when the police get there he shouts "you don't want me you want HIM"
>turns out there was a man crouched in the girl's car with a knife.
>the guy kept flashing his high beams to keep him from trying anything

I think what anon is getting at is that these were readily available for children as young as 5 in school libraries and book fairs.

Urban legend that was old back when the model T was still being driven around. Be interesting to know who actually made it up.

A picture of the average Ukrainian isn't that scary. I read them as a kid and didn't feel a thing. Then again a scarecrow ripping the skin off someone isn't shit compared to Hellraiser.

Didn't he walk Bob Dylan on stage in 1975?

That story freaks me out to this day. I'm not paranoid or narcissistic but it has me checking around every so often.
