Chapter 15: Scary Stories or Adolescent Anecdotes?

It's Spook-tober! Pages n' Pages is celebrating all things Spooky by reading the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trilogy by Alvin Schwartz. It's a fun walk down memory lane as we were both obsessed with reading these creepy tales as children, but will they hold up now that we're adults? You be the judge!
