Very nice. A certified spooky collection of ghost stories. Not all of them were good but some were actually pretty terrifying.
“Harry,” “Ringing the Changes,” “The Ghost of a Hand,” and “The Upper Berth” were by far the best and scariest stories in this collection. The book is worth reading for these tales alone.
Unexpectedly, “The Corner Shop” and “Playmates” were delightful not because of their spookiness, but because they were...wholesome.
5 stars overall.
