The Thing (from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark)

Voiceover artist Jonathan Jones tells this tale from Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark about a pair of young men who come across a strange creature in a farm field one afternoon.  Though they are not sure what “the thing” is at first, its purpose becomes clear many years later.

“So ten or fifteen years ago, when I was in elementary school, this was definitely the NUMBER ONE MOST FREQUENTLY CHECKED-OUT LIBRARY BOOK, EVER. If you wanted this book in your hot little hand for just two days, you had to stand at the counter and wait for someone to turn it back in, just so you could snatch it up before the librarian got it back onto the shelf. No joke.”
