30 hours......
30 hours of reading in this book of tales! Written quite some time ago (18-20th centuries I think) when many words were required to state a simple observation. So many words it became confusing and boring, for me anyway. Just not my cup of tea.

#3 has more "contemporary" ghost and horror fiction, with authors ranging from Poe and James, to H.P. Lovecraft. Many of these tales will be known to experienced readers of the genre, but its always nice to see favorites stories again.
A nice way to spend $.99.
