First of all, I have to thank author Tina Vantyler for creating that rarest of things: a book myself and my girlfriend can both enjoy. Our tastes in reading seldom cross over, but with this we found common ground. It was a magical thing!
My other half would never dream of picking up a horror novel, but when it comes to True Tales of the Supernatural, she’s well up for it. Go figure.
Lurking within these portentous pages are thirteen real life stories of ‘paranormal properties’, all eerily relayed by our ghastly guide Vantyler. (She’s not really ghastly. She actually seems very nice). Now, I will confess that I initially found the first person narrative to be a bit jarring, but I soon settled into it and enjoyed the sinister scenarios in all their spooky splendour. In fact, I enjoyed this book so much I read it a second time. I can’t tell you how rarely that happens.
My personal faves include Out of Hand, in which a young woman wakes in the dead of night to find herself being throttled by ghostly hands, Gateways, which is a fascinating account of living in an old house with a couple of portals, and The Visitants, which features that old horror movie staple, creepy children.
Gateways I found particularly intriguing as it highlights how quickly the paranormal becomes normal when it’s a fixture of everyday life. Of all the stories, Out of Hand is by far the most terrifying, and the young woman’s horror effectively conveyed. And in The Visitants we discover how several spectral children met their end, and it’s heart breaking. This one stayed with me.
This is the sixth book in the author’s True Tales of the Supernatural series, with each volume focusing on a different aspect of the uncanny. I’ve already ordered another volume for my girlfriend and I to enjoy. Cue a big argument about who gets to read it first.

The author has given us a wonderful selection of stories for this collection. Each heart pounding story pulls us in and does not let go. This is NOT for bedtime reading since the stories remain long after you close the book.

Lots of great ghost stories and all of them are true. Some are scarier then others but a good collection and fun to read.

Second book on the supernatural by this author. Very impressed with the writing style and content. Am on my third one at the moment. Would highly recommend. The author has the ability to grip and entertain, a natural writer.

Okay
Some of the stories were pretty good and left a chill going through me. Other times it felt like the story was being dragged on for a mediocre thrill.
