Great Irish Tales of Horror: a Treasury of Fear: Sheets

Rating:
Summary: Not great, but interesting
Review: Some stories in this book were good enough to save it from a 1 star rating, but not to get it to a 5. Two of the good stories were about 1) aboy whoose soul is stolen while he vacations in Ireland with his mother, and 2) The story about the cemetary that moved across a river. But there were some real stinkers included in this collection too among which were, the one about the spider woman who is not a spider, and the one about the man who commits suicide. This collection doesn't feature any truely scary stories either, but they might scare you if you have lived all of your life in a very sheltered suburban middle class home. This is not a book for fans of contemporay horror, It is for fans of gothic horror, who throughly enjoyed such books as Frankenstien and Dracula.
