When I was in 5th or 6th grade (1980/1981), I bought a Weekly Reader book which was a short collection of true stories, approximately 12 stories and around 100 pages long. The back cover contained a warning to not read when home alone because the stories were so scary. Two of the titles I remember were "The Walking Ottoman" and "The Housewarming". My little sister was terrified of this book and eventually was able to blackmail me into throwing it away! Please, does anyone know the title and author, and where I can get this book?

I don't recall any of the story titles but I ordered Haunted Houses by Larry Kettlekamp somewhere around that timeframe. It was a black and white softcover book. There are currently a few copies on eBay.
