I am looking for a book that I lost a few years ago that I used to love to read. It was a book of complete of short stories from around the world and it was for children. I know that 2 of the words that are in the title are Giant and Short (giant was in red and short was in yellow). The cover had a combination of witches, vampires, zombies, tombstones, and children on the cover. It was dark blue and black to help give off the “scary book” feel. I hope you can help me find this book.

ETA: Andrea found the book herself. It is called Giant, Short, and Shivery, and is one of many collections assembled by Robert D. San Souci. Published in 1998, it is now out of print, but maybe you can find a copy at your library. If you don’t see that particular collection you might try More Short and Shivery and Even More Short and Shivery, available both in print and ebook format. San Souci has several other scary story collections, and also has written many picture books, mainly based on folktales and fairy tales, that would be appropriate for even children who don’t care for shivers down the spine.

Thanks, Andrea!
