[Bob · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book quite interesting. Sure, the stories are short. But it gives way for you to do your own research into those stories you find intriguing!

[Chris · Rating 2 out of 5]

I gave up on it part way through and I am unliely to finish it. the stories are very short and a lot of them are not very inspiring.

A great quick read. I'll admit that i was hoping for more ghost stories but the weird ones made up for it. Somewhat. Can't fault it really. It is what it is.
