4.0 out of 5 stars Spooky tales of Hawaii, April 11, 2003

This review is from: Hawaii's Best Spooky Tales: True Local Spine-Tinglers (Paperback)

Being an island girl, some place references are inaccurate, that is why this book does not get 5 stars. But it does it job in scaring you. Warning: do not read at night. My favorite scary book of the Hawaiian islands is "Obake Files".
