Saw the cover on a winter display and snatched it up. Slow start, but totally worth it it.
It must be said that [b:Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark|1325218|Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark|Alvin Schwartz|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1440189576l/1325218._SX50_.jpg|145600] wouldn't be able to put across that "nighttime in a strange place" essentially creepy atmosphere if it weren't for Gammell's art. He does that so well, but it's nice to see his range, too. Same style, utterly different vibe.
