Gareth’s Reviews > The Spectral Book of Horror Stories > Status Update

Eastmouth - Rubbish! I don't like giving up on books but this is pushing me. A girl goes to her boyfriend's house and some woman tells her that she's now part of the family THAT'S IT.

The book and the ring - this one wasn't too bad, the older English was annoying at times but not a bad story, until the end. Like every other story so far this built up to something and then just ends.

Dull fire - bloke sees his dead dad, his Mrs sees her dead mum. They batter each other in the back of their car . end

The night doctor - this started off really good and was building up a crap, painful world of old age that Sam was living in. Then it went weird , Sam started to see the night doctor more and more then his friend choked and it ended. Is it just me or are horror stories turning into some literary version of modern art (crap).

Slape - a milkman fell over. That's it! I thought that was at least going somewhere. A milkman is delivering milk to a bloke called bacon and slips in his garden.

Funeral rights - An old woman gets a young girl to get in a coffin. Can't remember a lot of it. Pretty boring so far.

Just finished the first story "on the tour" its a good read but nothing special. A bloke who used to be in a band went a bit mental and thought he was still famous . Interesting but not horror .

Just finished the first story, I don't like writing negative reviews but that was not horror. It was though someone trying to sound like a scouser but failing. The dialog was all over the place and there was 0 scary parts. Not impressed so far.
