Oh, gosh, yeah. Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark! Goosebumps! Those things were huge. I mean, they weren't as... bitter, maybe, as Dahl could get (and also not nearly as good). But they were still pretty creepy. And, at least in my experience from childhood, kids loved them. The idea that kids weren't reading things because they were dark just doesn't match up with my memories at least.
