"Los muertos nos austan, porque un día también moriremos. La oscuridad nos asusta, porque no sabemos lo que aguarda ahí fuera. Por la noche, el rumor de las hojas, o el crujido de las ramas, o el susurro de alguien, nos hace sentir incómodos. Lo mismo ocurre cuando oímos pasos, o cuando creemos ver figuras extrañas en las sombras: tal vez un ser humano o un animal grande, o algo horrible que apenas podemos distinguir. Hoy día, la mayoría de la gente dice no creer en fantasmas y fenómenos extraños. Sin embargo, aún tenemos a los muertos y la oscuridad; aún vmeos al hombre del saco aguardado entre las sombras; y aún contamos historias de miedo, como hemos hecho desde siempre."--P. 4 of cover.

A profound investigation into the shifting nature of identity and reality • Looks at the ways thought is embodied and how it takes on a life of its own • Shows how Superman, an archetype of popular culture, is a perfect example of the nonlocality of quantum physics Writer Alvin Schwartz received a great deal of attention from fans when he began talking publicly about his seventeen-year stint writing Superman and Batman comics. One of the individuals who contacted him was no ordinary fan, but a seven-foot Buddhist monk named Thongden, a tulpa or individual who was thought into being by a Tibetan mystic. Thongden put Alvin Schwartz on the path without form, an amazing journey he took in the company of Hawaiian kahunas, quantum physicists, and superheroes. Superman, as it turns out, is also a tulpa, a being created by thought that takes on a life of its own and, in Mr. Schwartz’s words, is an archetype expressing the sense of nonlocality that is always present in the back of our minds--that capacity to be everywhere instantly. Superman is one of the specific forms that embodies our reality when we’re at our highest point, when we’re truly impermeable, indestructible, totally concentrated, and living entirely in the now, a condition each of us actually attains from time to time. Alvin Schwartz’s story is a personal journey through a lifelong remembrance of synchrony, inspiration, accident, and magic. As it unfolds it puts into vivid clarity the saving grace that inhabits every moment of our lives. The author travels as a stranger in a strange land, whose greatest oddity is that this land is our own.

This spooky addition to Alvin Schwartz's popular books on American folklore is filled with tales of eerie horror and dark revenge that will make you jump with fright. There is a story here for everyone -- skeletons with torn and tangled flesh who roam the earth; a ghost who takes revenge on her murderer; and a haunted house where every night a bloody head falls down the chimney. Stephen Gammell's splendidly creepy drawings perfectly capture the mood of more than two dozen scary stories -- and even scary songs -- all just right for reading alone or for telling aloud in the dark. If You Dare!
