I will always like a haunted house story and I do like this one. But it isn't as strong as some of the author's other work.

I really enjoyed The Folcroft Ghosts. What made it even better was the three short stories that were included in the book.

The Folcroft Ghost
4/5 stars
The whole time I was reading it it felt like I was reading a Goosebumps book. I’m guessing because the main characters were 15 and 12.

Clockwork
5/5 stars
This short story was like it was written perfectly for the show twilight zone.

Sub Basement
3.5/5 stars
It wasn’t my favorite of the three short stories but it was good. It gave the creepy feeling because who really likes to go down to basements alone.

The Crypt
5/5 stars
This one will prob show my age just a little because I use to watch the show when it would come on but not when it first came out because I wasn’t born yet but I swear this one was also made for the tv show Tales From The Dark Side.

This was not her scariest book by far. It had some creepy moments and a decent plot but it wasn’t as exciting as some of her other books.

Loved it. Pretty entertaining and tense. Some things may be predictable, but I think it was done well enough to still enjoy it. Loved that it had supernatural but also real aspects.

Ugh I was a little disappointed by this book by Darcy Coates, which makes me angry because I love Coates so so so much!

I am assuming this is one of her earlier books and has evolved into the author I love now!

This book was just a little boring with boring characters. The secrets that we all read to find out about were not really that crazy, and somewhat predictable.

I really am disappointed :/
