Favorite tales of monsters and trolls Book

I picked this book out to read to my son because it was one of my favorites when I was a little guy. But when I started looking through it, I found myself wondering why the hell my mother would have let me read this when I was so little. It's still awesome though. I just don't recommend it for anybody that's too young and fragile. Some of the monsters are kind of creepy, and while the good guys always win in this book, it might be a difficult book for the little ones to make sense of right before bed.
