I had this memory from my childhood I was hoping someone could help me with.
It was around '90,'91 when I was in first grade. There was this one black/white picture book we were allowed to read after school, and I was always afraid of it because of how violent it was.
The basic premise of the book would be about a girl who seemed really innocent, but then would just go crazy at a moments notice and kill people. I'm really digging into my memory here, but the story would go, "Mary came across a monster, and didn't know what to do. So she took out an ax and chopped the animal into little pieces."
I'm really interested in whether it was as odd and strange as I remember it. Although, admittingly, I'm not being very descriptive so I dont know if what I wrote down will jog anyone's memory. Its just been bugging me because there isn't anything specific about the book that I could search google for.
Was it possibly from one of the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" books? There were a bunch and as a kid I remember them being messed up. It had some pictures.
