The artwork is gorgeous. The stories are great and are eerie but not heavily scary or disturbing. I really wish some of the stories were longer and more developed. I also wish that I read this near Halloween so shall definitely reread then. My favourite story was The Nesting Place.

I was a bit disappointed by this book. I saw a lot of people talking about how creepy it was, but it just didn’t do it for me. The artwork is STUNNING and was definitely the best part for me, but the only two stories I really enjoyed were “A Lady’s Hands Are Cold” and “The Nesting Place”. And even then, they both felt like they needed a little more. That was pretty much how every story left me feeling - they all just felt like they were cut off too short. Sometimes ambiguous ending can be extremely effective, but here they just felt unfinished. Really bummed I didn’t like this more.

Creepy. Not "I will never sleep again" creepy, but "that gave me a slight chill and I might ruminate on the story for a minute before proceeding with my life". Given that this is aimed at the young adult crowd that is probably for the best. Given that I am reading it, I am fine with this. I like sleeping and I don't like nightmares.
The artwork is fantastic. Worth reading just to visualize the stories. The stories themselves are a bit uneven, but there are a couple gems in the collection.

Eerie and atmospheric, it never quite answers your questions, but in the best way possible

It was good but I wish some of the stories would have been longer with more details. My favorite part was the artwork. Overall, a quick, good & spooky read.

This was a disappointing read. I keep seeing people say not to read this at night and I am 99% sure they are getting paid to say it. The art and lettering were amazing, though.
