Summary: Doesn't live up to its title
Review: I got the book at christmas time, thinking there would be some chilling ghost stories inside. Boy was I wrong. The stories are not scary, but in a way quite sad. I had to put the book down because it was starting to depress me.

It's not really all that bad, except for page 107 & 108 being reversed. I actually never really noticed the mistake, because I read the book quite fast.

There are a lot of stories inside. Some go on forever, and some are short. They're very descriptive, and seem to trail on.
I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone who wants to read about chilling cold ghost stories. The illustrations seem to fit the stories pretty well though.

Save your time and money, unless you want something to read while you are eating breakfast, or you are on the subway.

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: I was expecting this book to be really exciting, being interested in both ghosts and Christmas it was great to see them put into one book. But I was somewhat disappointed. The stories are slow moving and somewhat boring, and could all use a lot of editing.

Also, around the 107th page there's a big mistake with the pages, they were put in wrong, so it really confuses you as you're reading the story. This book was sloppily edited, and appears as if someone smacked it together in an hour without reading the stories.

I don't personally recommend this book due to how slow moving it is.
