GHOST WRITERS
Can you match the writers
with their ghost? A ghostwriter is hired to write literary or journalistic works, speeches, or
other texts that are officially credited to another person as the
author. Sadly, this frequently happens when an author dies and the
publisher wants to carry on the series.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark by Alvin Schwarz
“Why are we subjecting our children to this kind of violent material?” Sandy Vanderburg, a
Seattle mother of two, asked in a 1993 Chicago Tribune interview. The controversial material in question was
Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. “If these books were movies, they’d be R-rated because of the
graphic violence. There’s no moral to them. The bad guys always win.” After recounting the plot of “Just
Delicious,” about a woman who steals a corpse’s liver to cook and feed to her husband, Vanderburg told the
paper, “That’s sick.” https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/14/20804222/scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark-banned-

It is now a movie; if you have Netflix and want to have mind numbing scare your pants off entertainment.
Or read a good Edgar Allan Poe story.
