About This Book
"Tales from the Cryptkeeper" offers two engaging, kid-friendly horror stories, "Gone Fishin'" and "A Little Body of Work," adapted from the popular animated TV series.

The Cryptkeeper's humorous narration frames each tale, making the mild scares approachable for children aged 4-11. It's an excellent choice for reluctant readers or fans of the show looking for a quick, entertaining read that subtly teaches about consequences and choices.
A pair of stories "Gone Fishin" and "A little body of work" adapted from the animated series which were, in turn, adapted from old E.C. Comics.
