Great read

I've read many of this author's books and I would have to say that this book was among the better ones. There is many stories in here that will catch your interest. The stories weave history and ghost in a spectacular book. It covers everything from the spitilist to the horrible croglin vampire that will make you afraid of the things that go bump in the night. There is also ghost stories about other authors from Edger Allen Poe to Charels Dikens. There is also wierd happenings that were reported in old newspapers that say everything from flying frogs to half alligator half human creatures. This book is diveded into small parts so it will keep your interest and is easy to pick up. I believe that this would be a perfect book for teenager, such as myself, to adults. So step into the victorian age and see some ghost.
