I actually had to sit with someone when reading this book at night. The words and style of writing make even the simplest sentences sound creepy. Each of the story is scary in its own way, although only in the last one where the victim actually becomes a casualty.

Actually I expected more of this book. The "ghost stories" were extraordinary but personally, I didn't like the style in which they were written. I really am a fan of slow stories, also of slow creepy stories (Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my favorites and you can't say Dracula is a very fast adventurous vampire) ;) but somehow these just weren't so much my taste. Maybe reading them on the train is one of the reasons, I don't know.
