Reviews

[Myrthe Roosendaal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een verhalenbundel met 10 griezelige verhalen erin. Ik vond sommige verhalen leuk om te lezen, maar veel verhalen liepen uiteindelijk slecht af, wat voor mij een beetje tegenviel.
Verder vond ik de verhalen wel goed geschreven.

A collection of ghost stories.

A mixed bag - none of them were really scary, but they were entertaining enough.

Reading time around one hour.

Works well for a school library — where I shall place it!
