I really had fun reading this. Yes, it's dated (the book was published in the mid 80's) and the stories are primarily from the 1800's to the mid 1900's, but that doesn't make them any less creepy or entertaining. I appreciated how the authors separated the stories into the states they came from, and the states were in alphabetical order. The stories weren't written very well, but they didn't feel repetitive or stale. Every one felt new and fresh, and I was never bored or wanted to stop reading- however, at the same time, the selections aren't long and it was easy to pick up and put down. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves ghost stories, or is looking for something easy to read after plowing through a long or particularly difficult novel.

A bunch of short hunting stories, great read. I love reading about hunted places very interesting.

There were some interesting stories, but some just felt too cliche. There just seemed like there were too many stories that sounded the same, the only difference was which state they happened in. The author seriously got annoying with all the exclamation points, even to the point were it distracted me from the story.

A generally entertaining read, though the style and execution of each story and legend varied greatly. The jumps in style could be jarring. It didn't feel terribly coherent as a collection, almost as if there were more than the two listed writers working on the retelling.
