I member that it was the haunted house or something an it was a red cover with a spooky looken house on it. an it had little stores like it isn't the cough that carries you off. It's the coffen they carry you offin, and there was a story about the ghost of cartoom. and the day that the murcury went down and stuff.

I know the book because I owned it as a kid, however I have long since forgotten the title. I may actually still have it somewhere. I will look around for you and I will see.

I'm going to do some research for you at the public library (I know they have it), and I'll post the answer back in a couple of days. This is going to bug the piss out of me until I find out.

Ever seen one? The last one I saw was our cat we had to put down. Old age..enlarged anus...well not anus but the proper word is escaping me at the moment. Almost tripped several times because I saw him run by me for about the first month after he was gone.

I never claim to be normal. When I was in high school my favorite hangout was the cemetary at night. I always figured the dead needed fun to.

I disagree, you're never alone when in a cemetary. Aside from that I took breathing individuals with me as well. Just loved to take new guys with to creep them out.
Usually I was in a pack of about 8-12 people.

The Haunted House and Other Spooky Poems and Tales ed. Vic Crume & Gladys Schwarcz.

The table of contents lists, among others, "A Skeleton Once in Khartoum", "It Isn't the Cough", "The Wreck of the Hesperus" and "The Red Room."

Several used copies are listed at amazon.
