Great book! Nice and thick, so lots of good, scary stories. Only a few too gruesome to read - most were fine. Perhaps not well-researched, but wonderfully chill-inducing.
My favorite month out of the year is Halloween and it is never a wrong time to read ghosts stories. Although it is not October yet, I still love to occasionally soak up a good tale. This book is a an accumulation of different stories that all sorts of people have experienced throughout the world. It is quite thick so it will take some time to read, but it is worth it. I highly recommend this book and think it brings something fun to the table for those that are avid lovers of the paranormal.
I enjoyed reading this book. I believe in ghosts.
