These thirteen short stories provide a mix, from the expected horror staples (in which bad children are punished by supernatural forces) to the most original tale here, a Field of Dreams takeoff about an undead baseball team. Overlooking some broadly sketched characters that verge on stereotypes, this mild horror collection is pleasantly scary fun.
