This book is wonderfully written and really very scary! As an adult, I thought it would be a little juvenile, since it is labeled for young adults. Not the case! The stories are good enough, and scary enough, for adults as well as youngsters. Each one is very detailed and several are quite long, with lots of descriptions and multiple hauntings per story. They also offer explanations for many of them, going into who the ghost probably is, and why they may be there. Truly, I got chills from several of these stories! Highly recommended if you like good ghost stories that will make you want to leave the lights on! ( )
