I read them slowly and creepily which helped the stories be more scary but.. I didn't enjoy most stories. They ended too quick and just... ugh I cant explain
5 stars for Gammell's artwork, 2 stars for the stories. They're pretty weaksauce renditions of urban legends and folktales. Stuff I've read or heard in much better versions. This is definitely worth picking up at the library to walk through the illustrations though! Truly creepy and disturbing, without need for reading the stories.
