This review is from: Ghostly Tales of Minnesota (Paperback)

I read this book in one sitting and loved it. The stories aren't very long, and are often isolated events or hauntings never repeated, but no less spooky and entertaining. The smallest detail will creep you out for the rest of the night. A good example would be the story called "A Hanging Telephone." These are local stories, told by friends of friends, and this intimacy created makes the book that much more enjoyable. I only wish it was longer.

Okay, some stories do tell the exact places in MN where events take place. I do feel, however, that diction and syntax used are pretty corny, but nontheless, entertaining. I believe my predisposed love of the Minnesota area added an extra spice to reading the book that people unfamilar with Minnesota would lack when reading. I would not recommend this book in normal circumstances, in which a reader is looking for some scary stories.
