Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories by Roald Dahl
4.0
This was probably 3.5 stars. I checked this out at the library thinking it was a book of ghost stories for children that Roald Dahl had written. It turned out to be a collection of ghost stories Roald Dahl gathered together, but didn't author. I considered returning it unread, but decided to read the introduction by Roald Dahl and it intrigued me enough to read it.
I am the type of person who gets freaked out by little noises in my house, thinking there is a burglar or murderer trying to break in. So I wasn't sure I would enjoy scary stories...but these stories are all literally about ghosts and they didn't scare me that much, since I don't believe in ghosts. Some of the stories were not that scary, and some of them were. I enjoyed reading them mainly because they were so different from what I normally read.
