Description
These are bedtime stories for adults who still remember the shadows.
Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children: …And Keep Them Awake All Night Long may sound like a provocation—but it isn’t, not really. These stories aren’t about horror for horror’s sake. They’re about the way children actually see the world—alive with mystery, shadow, and the possibility that magic and menace coexist just beyond the edges of the nightlight.
Children already sense that darkness holds both danger and wonder. What they want from stories isn’t protection from fear, but fairness in it—a sense that even in the strangest tale, things make sense somehow. That’s what these stories offer: not terror, but truth told through the eyes of imagination unafraid to look into the dark.
“I wrote this book for my children. Not because I had the answers—but because the stories might ask the right questions.”~Randolph B. Schiffer
