Though the book had some very interesting stories inside, such as Bloody Polly, I believe the book lacked spine-tingling tales. Most of the stories were of ghosts turning on and off lights and scaring people half to death. The book was a bit slow, especially closer to the middle of the book. There weren't any main characters in the book, so if you are looking for a story about a child who finds a ghost, I would not suggest this book. On the bright side, this book does have some stories that will keep you quivering the entire time you read.
