Something I find interesting in these international stories, as compared to American folklore contained in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, is just how commonplace magic and sorcery seems to be. It isn’t as surreal as it’s American counterpart, but also isn’t as self-conscious. That being said, I never thought the storytelling of Alvin Schwartz was particularly great until I read these. Oof. There certainly is an art to crafting micro-retellings of folklore with wit and personality. And these guys ain’t got it.
