Description

“Most scary stories are, of course, meant to be told. They are more scary that way. But how you tell them is important. …The best way is to speak softly, so that your listeners lean forward to catch your words, & to speak slowly, so that your voice sounds scary. And the best time to tell these stories is at night. In the dark & the gloom, it is easy for someone listening to imagine all sorts of strange & scary things…”
