I love seasonal reads, and this was a perfect Halloween quick read. Despite the subject, the book was far less entertaining than I expected. The stories were short and lacked much detail. I think the author was trying to capture the spirit of ghost stories around a campfire, but a lot of it was snooze-worthy. There were also random errors that made me question the veracity of the entire book. But overall it served its purpose to make me know a little more about the legends of the state in which I reside.

An entertaining short read

I have bought several books in this series, and have liked how each entry has detailed the unique Folklore and character of each state. Though there was some of this in this book, I felt it didn't share as much of this unique character. Furthermore I felt the author relied heavily on telling us about "anonymous sources" in relating some of the ghost stories. Having said this, I still found it an enjoyable read overall.

I have enjoyed this book especially when it speaks about my hometown and how it explains that we have haunted places that I can visit I recommend if you want an easy read and love scary stories.

Mr Stansfield needs to do a little better research on some of his topics. There is a monument known as the death bed in washington. He said it was in a Spokane Cemetary, when in all actuality it is in a cemetary in bothell. Other than that it was a great book....
