Customer Reviews

I enjoyed it

I really liked this book from the first story to the last. It's a bit of a quick read, but it does well to keep your spine tingling and you looking over your shoulder more than usual. If you're not a fan of scary stories, this book isn't for you. Obviously, judging from the cover, this book is meant to creep you out. If you're like me and your motto is "The scarier, the better!" then this will be a nice little addition to your growing horror collection. Something you may want to keep in the bathroom, on the coffee table or in the car for long trips. This is going to be a handy little book to keep around for when I have children who want me to read them bedtime stories lol. :) One night with this thing and they won't ask me to read their birthday cards. That being said, if you're looking to purchase this for your child or someone else's, make sure the kid can take this level of..uhh..excitement before giving it to them.

The Restless Dead

This book was pretty supernatural. Some stories were actually pretty good. I don't think the actual story was supposed to scare people, but the plots were pretty amazing. there were a few stories which I didn't quite understand, so I had to reread them. Some of them were also based on famous stories like Edgar Allen Poe's 'the Tell-tale Heart.'
