This book was SO good! I greatly enjoyed that it was a relatively short read and that in the end I was left wishing there were more stories -- just means I need to look for Twilight Zone stories! I loved that a lot of the settings were in the New England area, New York State, and the Albany/Lake George area.
After the first two or three "chapters" / stories, I didn't think I was going to like that each chapter was a different story. It reminded me of another book I had read (long before LibraryThing) that was supposed to be different ghost stories and it was HORRIBLE. I was worried this book was going to end up being only slightly better than that book ... Thankfully, I couldn't have been more wrong! Last night I read three or four different stories -- chapters -- and was so spooked, I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep! I couldn't wait to finish the book today, I enjoyed it so much : )
