Hello,

I read a book when I was younger (say in the nineties) it was a collection of shor scary/horror stories.

They included (I think!) stories about:

  • A pig which had red eyes
  • Peeling wall paper where there are scary drawings underneath - maybe something about an old lady with s scythe?
  • a girl walking hom through woods and meeting an ethereal figure

These stories fuelled my addiction towards horror stories, and would love my kids to read them :)

Would appreciate any help to find this book!

Thanks

How old were you? Might it be part of the Point Horror series?

Was it Short Stories to Tell in the Dark? Those horrified me as a child but I loved them...

Could it be one of the Armada short story collections! I had a few of those and the pig and the wallpaper ring a bell

There’s also a pig with red eyes in Amityville Horror, so the book you are thinking of may have had an extract from that?
