Entretenido sin más.

Terdiri dari beberapa cerita, salah satunya A Christmas Carol yang terkenal.
Cerita hantunya tidak ada yang menakutkan, jadi hanya cerita yang salah satu karakternya hantu. Jadi yang takut hantu tidak perlu takut membaca buku ini ^^

3.5 // Me esperaba cuentos más terroríficos, pero aun así hubo algunos que me gustaron mucho, otros no tanto. ''El caso de asesinato'' me gustó mucho y me dejo pensando, ''Cuatro historias de fantasmas'' tiene dos narraciones que disfrute. ''La historia del retratista'' y ''El niño que soñó con una estrella'' fueron, de hecho, cuentos muy bonitos. Este libro se aparta un poco de los temibles cuentos de fantasmas y creo que es muy interesante porque no solemos tener muchas historias así

The stories in this collection were hit-or-miss, in my opinion. I quite enjoyed The Judge's House by Brom Stoker, To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt by Charles Dickens, The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford, and Who Knows? By Guy de Maupassant. The others were either not particularly scary or simply dull.

Kalo ngeliat sinopsis di belakangnya, yang kepikiran (baca:ngarep) sih "Ghost Stories" macem punyanya [b:The Legend of Sleepy Hollow|93261|The Legend of Sleepy Hollow|Washington Irving|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348108368s/93261.jpg|21861741] nya [a:Washington Irving|28525|Washington Irving|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1218187394p2/28525.jpg]; tapi dari tiga cerita yang ada di buku ini, gak ada yang nyeremin sama sekali, bahkan kalo bisa dibilang gak ada yang temanya hantu. Dan sebenernya agak kecewa juga sih baca buku ini, karena ternyata setelah dibeli, dari cuman tiga cerita yang ada, saya udah baca cerita pertamanya: Kidung Natal (aka A Christmas Carol).

Tapi yah, terjemahannya lumayan bagus, banget malahan.

Half of these are great romantic Era horror stories. The other half are dross.

DID NOT FINISH

I wanted to read this over Christmas, but I wasn't making good progress, so I skipped to a Christmas Carol and have decided to revisit it next year but start it earlier!

If you like A Christmas Carol, you will love the other short stories in this book. “The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain” is a new Christmas favorite of mine. Some stories weren’t too christmassy, but overall an enjoyable and thought-provoking read!
