Not sure what the publisher was thinking! They are great.more of a literal interpretation of the just isn't Scary Stories without Stephen Gammell. I investigated online and found examples of Helquists illustrations. Luckily, I have older copies of this series with the weird art intact. While Brett Helquist is a talented artist, what made this book series really great was the strange art by Gammell.
Imagine my horror when I found out (while I was re-reading the series) that when they reprinted the books as a 30th anniversary celebration, they changed the artwork. What he remembered the most was the creepy-cool artwork by Stephen Gammell.
He presented me with copies of the books as he was leaving to serve in the Navy. This series of children's horror stories was a favorite of my oldest son.
