A great selection of classic spooky stories and excerpts. some of the older stories can be a little tricky to read due to their syntax but there is a good variety of authors and nice illustrations to accompany them. published by a little independent book publisher up in my neck of the woods at Thaxted, Essex which also would make a great setting to read these stories on a dark autumnal night :)

It was okay, some good stories some kinda boring. But overall, it's not bad.
