Great read. Standout tales ….

Xan van Rooyen’s “I”. Taut, dark and sassy.

LS Johnson’s “O”. Unfolds at a neat pace. Genuinely moving, unique and satisfying.

Rachel M Thompson’s “W”. Clever idea delivered with humor, empathy and snappiness. This could well be the basis for a series of zippy novellas.

i know when I grab a book of several short stories that I am for a ride, and some stories are bond to be great and others maybe not so much, and I have been surprised many times before, when most are great and while in others times most are only so so, but in this case I felt most stories where suposed to be about ghosts because of the title of the book and they weren't, ok some were and those were the great ones, but for me they were few than the fingers of a hand... most stories had a "spirit" but in efect to justify why they where in this book, not to make it creepy... the good ones had a spirit to make it creepy... one of my favorite had a tenant family, ghosts and a twist and I was completely sweep by that one but that alone doesnt save it... this book could be great for people who want to read stories with ghost on it without being scary, I was hopping for beyond scary and I didnt get that... I am sorry that i couldnt be more positive about it...

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
