4.0 out of 5 stars
Tap into the mind of one of the greatest ghost story writers of all times,
This review is from: Present at a Hanging and Other Ghost Stories (Paperback)
This short collection is guaranteed to make you feel eerie in those cold, dark nights when you stayed home alone to read. But then again how else to savor these stories? Here is a pointer. Get your hands on a copy of this book sometime around mid-day Friday. Blow off your friends for the night and go straight home. Wait until the daylight is just a memory and then sit with this book on your favorite old chair, preferably near a window, and delve into it with only the nightstand light on. Take time reading each page, relish each word, don't pay attention to the creepy scratching on you window, or the squeaking in the other rooms, it's all just in your mind. Whether you'll remember about the serial murders in the book, or the ghostly apparitions- it won't matter. What'll matter is how you experience reading about them...give it a try, be brave...

This review is from: Present at a Hanging and Other Ghost Stories (Kindle Edition)
I really liked this book. The stories are presented by the author as "eye-witness accounts" that he collected from other people - so they are short and to the point with very little embellishment. I think this makes the stories more realistic and creepy, because they seem like the kind of tales you would hear around the campfire. It's a fun style to read...who knows, maybe they ARE true ghost stories?!
