Review:
Who doesn't love a good, old-fashioned ghost story?

I really, really enjoyed reading this book, and I say that even though I'd read most of the stories in here already. The book is filled with old houses, ghosts, graves, dead bodies, you name it. It's exactly the kind of book it says it is; spine-chilling. The accompanying illustrations in this book are quite lovely as well, and it's just a gorgeous book to have on ones shelves.

I also really like that the stories chosen for this collection are of such variety, and I'm sure there's something for everyone in here. I just love the time period this is set in and you get such a good feel for all the authors different styles.

I would highly recommend this book if you like reading classic spooky stories. It's perfect for autumn and for cuddling up in the sofa with in the weeks around Halloween.
