In the mid-nineties, I read many horror story anthologies for children, although the stories often came from adult publications. The one I'm looking for has a sulfur-yellow cover with a pair of glum children peering from a poisonous-looking haze. I remember two titles from the stories within: "Battleground" by Stephen King and "The Ruum" by Arthur Porges. Other stories include a man who appears to be one hundred years old but is just about to reach his first birthday and one where a dodgy man is willing to pay any price for a specific house because a fortune he murdered to get is stashed away somewhere inside. I thought the book was titled Death Comes at Midnight but I can't find it searching for that title.
