The overlong, but generally effective, collection features ghosts that haunt graveyards, schools, and even a computer. Several of the stories feature adult protagonists, but young readers will probably be drawn to the stories that focus on ghostly encounters involving children and teenagers. Scratchy black-and-white drawings accompany the spooky tales. The tight design may be offputting to some readers.

YA
This collection of over thirty chilling stories, accompanied by suitably atmospheric pen-and-ink illustrations, encompasses a number of genres, including fantasy, mystery, and horror. Many of the tales concern adults, and the repeated technique of ending a story just before the imminent demise of a lead character becomes somewhat weary. A scattering of short dark comedy pieces is a welcome relief.
