Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror

It says “8 and up,” but this is a great book for any fan of weird fiction. Surely the titular uncle is named for M.R. James, and the scary stories are in that tradition. They all feature less-than-good children, and a comeuppance. The frame tale is my favorite part - Edgar and his uncle huddled by the fire in the study of the spooky old empty (?) house, with mists pressing on the windows and all manner of artifacts that inspire the stories.

The illustrations are clearly influenced by Edward Gorey, and they accentuate the stories perfectly.

Try to keep this on hand so you can grab it when fall is in the air, there's a thunderstorm (or at least a good chilly wind) outside, and you can read it by firelight.
