Summary: This book is an anthology of short stories. I'm not particularly fond of anthologies. I'll usually find a few gems, but, save for the rare exceptions like The Best of Pulphouse, I've never read an anthology where I find more good stories than bad ones. The good news is that ghost stories tend to work best as short stories, since they tend to leave off with the main character being haunted, and don't need lengthy conclusions.
