Reviews

[Annette · Rating 2 out of 5]

There was nothing wrong with this book but I feel it's more of a "bathroom reader". I don't mean that in a disparaging way but you just can't sit down and read it straight through like a novel. I ended up putting it down and reading one or two of the little stories at a time while simultaneously reading a fiction book.
I had expected there to be more investigation to the stories rather than just recording "person A had some stuff move around and therefore they assumed their place was haunted". There were a few stories of note but most of it was less exciting.
