Spooky! But with a lot of grammatical mistakes...

[Tamara · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. I liked the variety, there was certainly something for everyone and a lot of Canada was covered. Even had some of my favourites I was already familiar with. What I didn't like was the choice to write some of the retellings in first person. Third person works best when telling a ghost story that been passed down the ages. First person just failed to carry impact and legendary status of the stories.
