Looking 4 a book made 80s or 90's about a girl w lace or ribbin around her neck, when u pull it her head fell

i think it might be a holloween story, and she had a boy friend who always asked about it then one day while she wasnt paying attention he pulled it and her head fell off.. Does anybody know what book or story that is?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It sounds very much like a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, though that doesn't really fit with your time line. Check his book of "Twice Told Tales" or "Mosses from an Old Manse" and it will probably be in there. Hope this was helpful.
