Reviews

[Baz · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had this book in my bedside drawers for nearly four years, picking it up and putting it down.
It is definitely something you can piecemeal over a period of time while reading other things.

There are some great classic and modern tales in this. If you’re not great with classical language then I would probably give this one a miss.

Not all tales are particularly scary, but it’s a great mix of old and new, quirky and creepy.

A great read, there are one or two meh ones but overall very readable
