I like the halloweeny vibe of this book! Reading it in the early morning was a really nice and cozy vibe! I enjoyed certain stories more than others, but I believe everyone can find a tale that appeals to them in this book (plus the poetry is amazing!)

Though I do think that it needs some more careful editing, since in the first story the name of the girl suddenly changes from "Ophelia" to "Willow", and then there's an "Ophelia" in a later story. Also there was a paragraph which ended with the word "The" xD

Nevertheless quite a pleasant read! Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 :}
