Customer Reviews

One of my favorite collections

I really cannot find any stories in this collection that I did not like. Each story is unique and enjoyable. In this collection, you'll find tragic stories of spirits seeking to bring justice to their killers as well as malevolent ghosts who simply seek to attack or torment the living. Not all stories end well for the storytellers though. You won't find gory or raunchy stories in here that you find in alot of current horror writing and that is just another reason why this is a fresh of breath air. So much horror today seems to try and shock you with the obscene more than they try to scare you with the truly supernatural.
