A decent read (0/0 people found this helpful)

When i saw that Roald Dahl had chosen these stories i was expecting them to be terrifying, but to be honest they didn't really stir me at all (& i scare very easily). The only one that had that impact was 'Harry', that stayed with me for quite a while! I would recommend the book for that story alone, & there are a few others that i would describe as 'nice stories'. In other words they were nice tales of friendly ghosts rather than scary horror stories.
Hope that helps.

reading some of these ghost stories. This is a wonderful wonderful collection of true ghost stories. Highly recommend it to everyone a bit older, say, 12 years and up!! Loved the one called Playmates. Cheers!

A Great Book (7/8 people found this helpful)

I read this when I was a teenager travelling through Africa. I had to cover the front image because alongside the stories it scared me to much. Yet these stories drew you in, scarier than any film I've seen yet far more intriging aswell. It's incomparible to any book I've read since. It's in a genre of it's own. Each is an individual master piece, they're beautiful, elequent and twist and turn in the most unexpected ways.
