5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky!, October 10, 2002

This review is from: Graveyard: More Terrifying Than Stephen King - Because It's True! (Mass Market Paperback)

If you are looking for a book about real haunts or if you just want a good book of ghost stories to send a chill up your spine this would be a great choice. It is true that these are for the most part one person experences and the documentation is sparse but I still liked this book very much. The writing style is very easy to read and draws the reader into the story. This is a perfect book for a cool October evening.

The first section of the book takes its stories from Union Cemetery in Monroe, Connecticut while the rest of the stories come from, "other graveyards." The whole point of the book seems to be that much psychic energy exists in graveyards, some of it very bad energy. I must admit that I have never liked the idea of going into a cemetery at night and I think most people feel that way too, even if they will not admit it. This book banks on most people having that little fear of graveyards and it will bring out a goosebump or two.

If nothing else, this book doesn't cost much and its lots of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have an interest in the occult, this book's for you!, December 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Graveyard: More Terrifying Than Stephen King - Because It's True! (Mass Market Paperback)

For anyone who has an interest in demonology or the occult, this is book is definitely a must read. The research of Ed and Lorraine Warren is shown along with stories of terror which will chill the bones of even the most stoic reader. Read of how a girl's guilt about her friend's death leads her to dark measures, or how a radio personality is shown that his cracks about the afterlife are not appreciated by some, living and dead. Those who are looking for a spine chilling read, I urge you to also remember...these stories are true!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Creepy Fast Read, July 1, 2002

This review is from: Graveyard: More Terrifying Than Stephen King - Because It's True! (Mass Market Paperback)

Sometimes I like to read true ghost stories just to make my insomnia more interesting. The Strange Passenger chapter's opening really made me laugh. It probably shouldn't have, because I know I would have been more freaked out than the man it actually happened to, but the way they wrote it out - prolonging the suspense - was great. I like that they also stress the folly and danger of meddling with black magic and ouija boards. That can't be stressed enough. You could devour this interesting book in an evening.
