This is a good collection of horror stories from some of the best writers in the genre (and a few outside it) that is a good introduction to horror for younger readers and those not overly familiar with horror stories. There were no outstanding stories for me (but that could be more to do with my hardened to horror soul than anything else) but all were equally good and enjoyable. Each tale has its own individual style but all are as engrossing as each other. A good collection, particularly for new horror fans, but for me it was a little tame.

As a pre-teen, I adored ghost stories. They really scared me, freaked me out and left me feeling like if I would get up, out of bed, I'd run into a ghost as soon as I left the (somewhat) safe confines of my room!

Now, they're just odd. Perhaps that's due to the fact that I consumed just about every short story anthology of ghost stories I could get my hands on at that age. This book, Ghost Stories, is one of the few I still own.

I really loved these short story series. I think if I'd read them again I'd be as appreciative. In just a few short pages you're left feeling shivery and frightened and freaked out and then you can do it all over again once the next story starts!

Somehow I just wish I had remembered more of the stories...
