Suspenseful page-turner! Delightful for the appropriate ages

This book deals with the subject of the supernatural and consists of a series of short stories, most of which are the classic ghost stories. Each chapter is a different story, and the author, Daniel Cohen, claims that every single story (or report as the case may be) is totally accurate. This is not to say that all the stories are true (most of them are quite far-fetched), but that all the stories and reports were made by people who claimed they were true. The major strength of this book is simply that it provides excitement and suspense page after page. All the stories are short enough to read in one sitting (and so is the book, for that matter). The details and word usages which the author uses makes the reader feel like he or she is right there in the story. But despite all its merits, this book can easily make a younger reader a bit uneasy.
