Edger Alan POE <pick almost any title >
Yup! Definitely Poe.
That, and I also had a big problem with the wolf eating grandma in
Little Red Riding Hood.
Most of the books I read a child were censored. Swear words blacked out etc. I don't think very much violence made it past the censors.
If you think about it, even some lullabies like
Rock-a-bye baby are pretty violent.
Spoiler Warning below
Rock-a-bye baby
On the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
