Banned Book Week

More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

2007

Retained in the Greater Clark County (KY) elementary school libraries despite a grandmother's request to ban the Scary Stories books written by Alvin Schwartz. She wanted all four or five volumes in the series banned because, she said, they depict cannibalism, murder, witchcraft and ghosts, and include a story about somebody being skinned.

Held by Marshall University (Drinko Library, Juvenile Collection - 398.25.S399m).
