So I'm not sure if the stories in this are fiction or reality? I think they're nonfiction but idk.
I mean, most of the legends mentioned in this book were interesting, but not that scary. I've read some kiddie ghost stories that are scarier, lol. I really feel like the author could've gone into a lot more depth with these.

This was dumb. Might be okay for a younger audience but not for adults. Seems kiddy.

This was a ridiculously short read. I was interested in the subject matter, but the "stories" were sparse with details, giving vague outlines of the general story. I wasn't expecting true tales, so that was nice but everything was so condensed that the moment your interest was piped, it was over.
A little added depth to the stories would have rated an extra star, but this thin paperback just sends you scrambling for your phone in an attempt to find more substance for these bare bones stories.

A decent little collection of ghost and supernatural stories, though the book doesn't distinguish between actual accounts, folklore, and one or two I suspect of being largely the author's invention. In any case, it's an entertaining and very short read. (B)
