This book is scary...no not scary, terrifying! Full of short stories guaranteed to give you nightmares. I really enjoyed reading this, but won't be able to come back to it for a while. Nightmares, ya know?

Chilling and frightfully disturbing. I loved it! I love Campbell’s writing style.

DNF at page 120. a series of short stories with a 'shock' ending on each. the characters come off as flat and 2 dimensional, the plots seem to have an underlying repetativness. could not keep interest for me though there were a few that I would have liked to see progress further.

I liked it! Kinda gave scary stories to tell in the dark vibes but nothing like it. Definitely could read at night and still be able to sleep
